Ingredients
4 medium bell peppers (various colors), halved and seeded
500g ground beef (80/20)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
140g diced tomatoes (canned)
50g cauliflower rice
30g shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella)
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Prepare the bell peppers by halving them lengthwise and removing the seeds and membranes.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, cauliflower rice, tomato paste, dried oregano, and dried basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Place the bell pepper halves in a baking dish. Spoon the beef mixture evenly into each pepper half, filling them to the top.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the stuffed peppers.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Pro Tip
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef mixture. You can also substitute ground turkey or sausage for the ground beef. Consider adding chopped mushrooms or zucchini to the filling for extra vegetables.
