stuffed bell peppers...

trying some new low carb dinner options and this one came to mind when i saw bell peppers on sale in the market.

ingredients:

3-4 medium sized green bell peppers
1 lb. chop meat
1 zucchini
1 ear of corn
3 stalks of green onion
1 packet taco seasoning
1 T tomato paste
1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese

how to:

grate zucchini, shave the corn off of the cob and chop green onion.  saute in pan until cooked through and put aside.


 cook chop meat, drain extra fat off and mix in taco seasoning.


combine veggies and meat.


cut bell peppers in half length wise, and clean out insides.


stuff with mixture and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 20-25 minutes. for the last few minutes of cooking, sprinkle cheese on top and turn broiler on.


***you can put any veggie mixture you want with the meat.  i used those because that is what i had in the fridge, but you could use mushrooms, onion, ortega chilies, black beans, rice, etc.***


we had a one half left over and jarad fried an egg to put on top for breakfast, it made for good leftovers!
