Stuffed Bell Peppers

What you will need:

1 lb lean ground beef (you can substitute lean ground turkey breast if you prefer, or do 1/2 and 1/2)

1/2 onion, chopped

1-3 jalapeno peppers, chopped (add to your preferred heat level)

2 cloves garlic, minced

15 oz can of no/low sodium tomato sauce

Your favorite no/low sodium taco seasoning, use half of what it says to use for 1 lb of lean ground beef

2 cups cooked brown rice (you can also use quinoa)

4-6 Bell peppers, cut off tops & seed (this recipe will comfortably stuff 4 peppers with some extra filling left over)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350.

2. Saute ground beef  over medium heat with onions, garlic and jalapeno peppers until meat is completely cooked.

3. Pour beef mixture into a bowl and add tomato sauce, brown rice, and seasoning. Mix thoroughly.

4. Stuff each pepper to the top with the mixture.

5. Place stuffed peppers in a glass baking dish and bake in oven for 1 hour.

6. Remove from oven and serve with your favorite sides. We love using plain Greek yogurt in place of sour cream and serving with a nice green salad and fresh chopped veggies. Enjoy!
