Ground beef and marinara sauce go together just like peanut butter and jelly (Yummmm…). Sorry, its been awhile. Anyways, we built this master piece and wanted to shout from the top of our lungs on how good it is.
Ingredients:
– 18oz of ground beef 16P
– 4 bell peppers (red, green, yellow, orange, purple??? Just making sure you are there) 4C
– 2/3cup white onion chopped 1C
– 3cups of low sugar content marinara sauce 6C
– 24 Almonds crushed (place in a ziplock bag and crush with the marinara jar) 8F
– 1 clove minced Freebie
– 4cups of spinach 1C
– 1/2tsp red pepper flakes Freebie
– 1/2tsp of Mrs. Dash seasoning Freebie
Preparation:
Cook the ground beef, garlic, onions, and seasonings in a medium sized pan. While the beef is cooking, prep your bell peppers; cut the tops off the peppers and core the inside. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees F When beef has browned, drain the fat out of the pan. Place the meat back on heat, add 2 cups of marinara, crushed red peppers, crushed almonds and spinach cook for another 2 minutes.
Take the beef marinara mix off the stove. Place the mix evenly into the four peppers. Place the stuffed peppers in a pyrex that is sprayed with non-stick spray. Place in the oven for 20 minutes to let the peppers blister.
Place the peppers on a serving dish and cover with the remaining cup of marinara spread a 1/4cup over all four. Uhh, can you say delicious!?!
This recipe makes 18P, 12C, 8F. If evenly seperated, this will make 4 meals at 3P, 3C, 2F. Add some tasty guac or avos for additional fats. (1.5oz of ground beef per block of protein)
