Friday Night - Meat Stuffed Peppers - D's style

It felt like this took me forever to cook this - probably because I somewhat followed a recipe I had found on pinterest but I wanted more veggies in mine, no rice, and no tomato sauce - so I ended up reworking the recipe and creating my own! But oh my goodness... I was hoping my boyfriend wouldn't eat the second one so I could eat it tomorrow - but unfortunately he did eat it and Im pretty sure he enjoyed it! Im quite proud these turned out because I was a little unsure and thought something was going to go wrong - well it did but not to the food but to my finger! Kitchen hazard 101: dont grab hot casserole lid with bare hands(forgetting its hot). OWWIE. Can you say blister? Hence the first photo of this post...

Ingredients:

Extra lean ground beef

Red peppers

Celery

Onion

Garlic

Garlic powder

Chili powder

Cheese

Chicken broth

Liquid soy

1)Begin by chopping up celery, onion and garlic. Clean red peppers(to be filled with the yummy goodness you are about to create).

2) Cook ground beef – measure out your quantity – I cooked about 250grams – for two servings. Add veggies to beef and add salt free chicken broth and liquid soy – and herbs and spices – I added chilli powder. Let simmer for 5 minutes or until your veggies begin to soften and soak up some of the juices.

3)Fill red peppers with your meat/veggie mixture in a cassorole dish and pour in some additional chicken broth. Cook for 30-35 minutes

4) When you only have a minute to go – take your meat stuffed peppers out of the oven and add 1/4^th cup cheese roughly to each and put back in the oven to melt.

5) Enjoy!!

I think whats so awesome about this is everything is healthy for you - you almost feel guilty because it tastes amazing so you feel it shouldn't be good for you! I ate 1 of these peppers and was completely satisfied!
