Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

– 2 lbs. – ground beef – ▢6 large – Bell peppers – ▢2 lbs. – mushrooms – ▢1 lb. – mozzarella cheese – ▢1 lb. – cheddar cheese – ▢1 bunch (or 1 cup sliced – green onion) – ▢½ cup – fresh parsley – ▢¼ tsp. – ground Black Pepper – ▢1 tsp. – sea salt – ▢1 tbsp. – Mrs. Dash seasoning – ▢1 tsp. – garlic salt – ▢3 oz. – tomato paste – ▢7 oz. – pizza or any pasta sauce – ▢Olive oil for sautéing

Step 1

Measure out all the seasonings and mix them on a plate. Set aside.

Step 2

Peel, rinse, and slice the mushrooms. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef on high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until the water evaporates. Reduce the heat to low/med and add the mixed seasonings. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Shred mozzarella and cheddar cheese into a large bowl and refrigerate.

Step 4

Mix the pizza sauce and tomato paste into the meat/mushroom mixture. Let it simmer for 5 minutes and set aside to cool. Combine the cooled meat mixture with the reserved shredded cheese and greens. Add more seasoning if needed.

Step 5

Cut bell peppers in half, remove seeds and membranes. Steam pepper halves in hot boiling water for 10 minutes, then drain and set aside to cool.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Stuff each pepper with the filling and place them in a 9x13 baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes (55 minutes if peppers were refrigerated).

Step 7

Remove the foil, top each pepper with reserved shredded cheese, and bake uncovered for another 15 minutes. Cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Stuffed Bell Peppers!
