Serves: 4
- 4 large peppers
- 1 16 oz. can or jar of tomato sauce of choice
- 1 pound of ground protein of choice
- 1 cup of cooked rice or grain of choice
- ½ cup of other veggies of your choice
- Handful of greens of your choice, optional
- Tablespoon of olive oil
- Cinnamon, optional
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- Pour a half a cup to a cup of tomato sauce into the bottom of a loaf pan.
- Cut the top of the peppers off, then take out the core and seeds. Place into the loaf pan.
- Preheat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Sauté the onion and garlic until softened, if using, then add the spices and sauté the protein until cooked through.
- Remove the protein to a plate, then sauté the veggies until soft.
- Turn off the heat, add the protein back to the pan, then add the rice or gain and half of the tomato sauce. Mix to combine.
- Spoon the filling into the peppers. Overfilling is fine. Sprinkle cinnamon on top, if you’d like. Then, spoon a bit of sauce on top.
- Place the peppers in the oven for about 45 minutes, or until the peppers are softened.
- Take the peppers out of the oven and spoon a little more of the sauce from the bottom of the pan into the top.
- Serve!
