INGREDIENTS

8 oz ground beef (93% lean)

2 medium bell peppers

0.25 cup cooked brown rice

0.25 cup tomato puree

0.25 cup yellow onion

1 clove garlic

0.5 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp dried oregano

1 tbsp fresh parsley

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes.

• 2

  Place the peppers upright in a baking dish. If they are wobbly, trim a tiny bit off the bottom to level them.

• 3

  In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and the onion is translucent.

• 4

  Add the minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano to the skillet, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant.

• 5

  Stir in the cooked brown rice and tomato puree, mixing until the filling is well combined and heated through.

• 6

  Spoon the beef and rice mixture into the prepared bell peppers, packing it down gently.

• 7

  Pour 0.25 cup of water into the bottom of the baking dish to create steam, then cover the dish tightly with foil.

• 8

  Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the peppers are tender when pierced with a fork.

• 9

  Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve warm.
