Paleo Stuffed Peppers
Thank goodness for Paleo recipes!
I’ve been reading a ton of Paleo eating blogs and I’ve come across some great inspiration for recipes. Here are the stuffed peppers we enjoyed for dinner tonight. Free of all the foods I’m allergic to, low-carb, and yummy!
Ingredients:
- 4 large bell peppers any color
- 1lb spinach (fresh or frozen)
- 1lb ground beef
- 2 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 yellow onion
- 1 large tomato
- favorite seasoning blend
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Clean peppers and set aside.
Dice onion and saute in olive oil. Add spinach (squeeze dry if using frozen) and let cook down. Add ground beef and brown. Dice tomato and add to mixture. Season to taste with your favorite seasonings.
Fill peppers with mixture and bake for 20 minutes or until peppers are tender.
Dig in or top with salsa or marinara sauce and enjoy.
Note: these would be fantastic with Parmesan cheese on top for some crunchy salty bite. I’m learning to live without cheese.
I love stuffed peppers! A touch of red pepper flakes would spice it up a notch, (or use drained diced tomatoes with green chiles instead of the tomato) and some bacon, criss-crossed on top, would add flavor, and make it look even prettier.
I made these tonight but subbed Bison for ground beef awesome!
Made them tonight, didn’t have spinach so I used Kale. I also had some leftover tomato paste so I dumped that in, about 2 Tbls, and added some red chile flakes. Used organic ground and organic peppers of course…
Thanks so much!
YUMMY!!!
So glad you enjoyed them Nate. Ooh, kale is a great idea…I’ll have to try a batch with kale instead of spinach!
