Cheesy Beef and Quinoa Bake
Sautéed lean ground beef and fluffy quinoa baked with vibrant bell peppers and topped with a layer of gooey melted cheddar cheese.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz ground beef 93% lean
0.25 cup cooked quinoa
0.5 oz sharp cheddar cheese
0.25 cup red bell pepper
0.25 cup yellow onion
0.25 cup tomato puree
0.5 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced yellow onion and red bell pepper, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, then drain any excess fat.
Stir in the cooked quinoa, tomato puree, garlic powder, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the beef and quinoa are well coated in the sauce.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
Sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving hot.
