Cuisine: American
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
  • 1 pound of ground beef (try ground turkey or chicken to make it even healthier)
  • 3 large bell peppers
  • 1 jar of salsa – Get creative with this. The salsa really makes the dish so change things up by trying a variety of salsas
  • 1 cup of cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice
  • ½ diced onion
  • ½ pepper, diced
  • 2 cups of fresh spinach
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1½ TBSP of Black Pepper
Preparation
  1. Brown your ground beef in a large pan. Once the meat is mostly cooked, add in the diced onion, garlic, pepper, and any additional veggies you want to throw in.
  2. When your veggies are nice and tender, add in your pepper and the cooked rice and cooked quinoa. Mix well.
  3. Prep your peppers by washing them, slicing them vertically and removing the white membrane. Lay them out on a baking sheet that has been drizzled with olive oil.
  4. To your meat mixture, add your jar of salsa and your fresh spinach. Stir and let cook until the spinach just begins to wilt.
  5. Fill your peppers with your meat mixture and top with cheese.
  6. Bake at 375° for about 35 minutes. If you want to prevent your cheese from getting too crispy you can cover these loosely with foil
