Serves: 6 halves
Ingredients
  • 3 bell peppers
  • ½ onion, sauteed
  • 1 bell pepper, sauteed
  • 2 cups of (cooked) ground beef (I use leftover taco meat)
  • ⅓ cup of drained fire roasted tomatoes
  • 1 & ½ cup of cheese (I used fiesta blend)
  • 3 tbs tomato paste
  • several drops of Tabasco sauce for a little more kick
  • ¾ cup Italian bread crumbs (for low carb/gluten free I use PÖRQ Fried Pork Rinds Crumbs)
  • no stick butter/olive oil spray
Instructions
  1. Preheat over to 375°
  2. Cut bell peppers in half from top to bottom. Remove stem. Clean out innards and salt insides of peppers.
  3. Chop ½ onion and bell pepper into small cubes.
  4. Saute onion and bell peppers in large pan. Once those are soft add in the ground beef if you don't have leftover taco meat. Make sure meat is crumbled with no big chunks.
  5. Drain hamburger meat.
  6. Mix in fire roasted tomatoes, tomato paste, 1 cup of cheese, and ¼ cup of bread crumbs, along with Tabasco sauce if desired. Mix until even.
  7. Spoon meat mixture into 4-6 pepper halves.
  8. Top with a sprinkle of cheese and bread crumbs on top of meat mixture and spray with butter spray so that it browns on top.
  9. Bake for about 30 minutes in a preheated 375° oven uncovered.
