4 servings

35 min cook time


Ingredients:

4 bell peppers

1 lb lean ground beef (or Italian sausage)

1 large tomato

1/2 yellow onion

1 garlic clove or 1 tsp minced garlic

1 1/4 cup marinara sauce of your choice

1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

1 tsp red pepper flakes (if you want a little spice)

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Salt & pepper

Parsley or fresh basil for topping (optional)


  1. Preheat oven roasted 400°

  2. Cut off tops of bell peppers, remove seeds, and half each pepper.

  3. Season peppers with salt, pepper, and garlic powder and place on a baking sheet.

  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes.

  5. While peppers are baking, brown hamburger/sausage in a pan over medium heat.

  6. Add onion and tomatoes and cook for about 5 more minutes.

  7. Add Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, garlic, and marinara.

  8. Once peppers are done baking, place them in a baking dish and add meat mixture to each pepper.

  9. Top with mozzarella cheese and bake for 15 more minutes.

  10. Sprinkle with parsley or basil (optional) and serve. Enjoy!

**This is a versatile recipe because you can take away and add different things to make it how you like it. I’ve done stuffed peppers with a chicken Alfredo type mixture in them before and that’s also really good! Don't be afraid to make it your own!
