Ground Beef and Ricotta Stuffed Bell Peppers
Savory ground beef and creamy ricotta cheese are baked inside vibrant bell peppers for a satisfying, protein-packed meal with a golden, bubbly finish.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz 93% lean ground beef
2 medium bell peppers
0.25 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
0.25 cup low-sugar marinara sauce
0.25 cup yellow onion
1 tsp garlic
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking dish.
Slice the bell peppers in half lengthwise, removing the seeds and membranes to create hollow boats.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with the diced yellow onion and minced garlic until the meat is browned and the onions are translucent.
Drain any excess liquid from the skillet, then stir in the marinara sauce, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.
Remove the skillet from the heat and gently fold in the ricotta cheese until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
Spoon the beef and ricotta mixture evenly into the bell pepper halves and place them in the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the top of each stuffed pepper.
Pour two tablespoons of water into the bottom of the dish, cover tightly with foil, and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the peppers are tender and the cheese is slightly golden.
