What You'll Need
- 5 green or red bell peppers
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 (15-ounce) can Italian-style tomato sauce
- 1 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
What to Do
- Cut tops off bell peppers, and reserve tops; remove and discard seeds and membranes. Cook peppers in boiling salted water 4 minutes or until crisp- tender drain.
- Coarsely chop reserved pepper tops. Cook chopped pepper, beef, and onion in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until meat crumbles and is no longer pink; drain.
- In the same skillet, stir in tomato sauce, red pepper, garlic salt, and black pepper; cook over medium-high heat 3 minutes or until mixture thickens.
- Carefully spoon meat mixture into peppers. Sprinkle with cheese.
Notes
Quickly chop bell pepper tops with ease using this little trick: Simply trim the pepper rim away from the stem with 4 strokes in a square-like pattern; then continue to chop pepper.
