Stuffed Peppers

This was a recipe that was designed because we had too many green peppers that had to be used up but you can use any color of peppers for this recipe. This is a very easy recipe. It not only tastes wonderful but it is loaded with vitamins. It is a great way to get you kids to eat vegetables. This recipe will fill 3 peppers; you can adjust as needed for more peppers.

Stuffed Peppers


Cut 3 green peppers in half either way will work. Cook in the microwave for 2 minutes to shorten the cook time for the recipe.



I started by browning 1 or 2 pounds of lean ground beef depending on how many peppers you have to use. Add onion, seasoning and cooked unit it is soft. I then added veggies and you can put in whatever you like. I used Brussels sprouts chopped, broccoli, celery, and spinach.



Heat until it is cooked. I put about 1 cup of rice, low fat cream of mushroom soup in with some sour cream (fat free works if you want to us that instead) and added it to the lean ground beef.



Put mixture into peppers and top with bread crumbs. Bake on 360 for 30-40 minutes or until peppers are soft.










They work great for leftovers. The next day I heated up a stuffed pepper and topped it with a fried egg and some Sirach. Can you say Delicious breakfast.



Enjoy
