There is an endless variety of dishes where vegetables and meat are combined to make one main course. I prefer to cook such dinners because a side dish is not necessary and I don’t have to spend any more time in the kitchen. Such combinations are very nutritious too.
A week or two ago I got home late from work and had little time to cook dinner. I checked my fridge to find I only had a few things on hand. Fortunately I remembered coming across this blog recently and since I had ever thing I needed, I decided to make it.
[/su_column] [/su_row] It came out tasting amazingly great! I can’t wait to make it again.
- bell peppers (any color) – 4 large pieces
- Ground of lean beef– 2 pounds
- Italian bread crumbs – 1\4 C.
- creole seasoning – 1 teaspoon
- egg – 1 piece
- Parmesan (shredded) – 1\4 C.
- red pepper flakes (crushed) – a pinch
- garlic (finely chopped) – 3 cloves
- olive oil – 1 Tablespoon
- fresh parsley (chopped) – 1 Tablespoon
- Italian cheeses blend (shredded0 – 1 C.
- crushed tomatoes – 1 can (28 ounces)
- Slice a little the top and bottom of each pepper. Do not throw away the slices. Remove seeds and cut out the ribs. Cut into 3 thick rings and put on a sheet pan lined with parchment. Dice the rest parts of peppers for meat mixture.
- For meatloaf mix: blend ground beef with seasoning, bread crumbs, egg, cheese, red pepper flakes, garlic, and remaining diced peppers.
- Put meat mixture into each pepper, making a dome of the mixture on each pepper.
- Heat a large oven-safe pot with olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Cook each stuffed pepper ring for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side until it get browned.
- After browned on each side, pour the tomatoes over the pepper rings.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Add cheese on the top and bake for 5 more minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve.
