Snowy Day Cookery

This snowy cold  stillkindofsicky afternoon inspired stuffed peppers...:)

This is a low carb version and super easy! 

This recipe makes 7-8 depending how you stuff them .

These freeze very well 
and are enough for 
3 meals and a lunch  for soldier man and I.. 
2 or 3 meals  if you are feeding a kid or two:)


1 # Ground beef(could use anything lean) 
7-8  Green Red Yellow or  Orange Peppers
3 small onions 
2 cans of tomatoes with Italian spices and 
2 shredded carrots and 
1 shredded zucchini 
1 egg 
1/4 cup milk, 
1 tbsp minced garlic 
1/4 tsp each turmeric,parsley,oregano,and basil and oregano
1/3  cup Parmesan.

Boil the peppers for 3 minutes 
Pour one can of tomatoes on the bottom of baking dish and arrange peppers.
Mix all the other ingredients and fill peppers .

Bake covered for 1 hour
Remove the cover  and sprinkle with cheese( I am using mozzarella)
Bake 10 more minutes until cheese melts
TADA!! 

Also super cheap because I got the beef and the peppers on sale($6.50 for the beef and peppers and  I used staples I always have on hand.)

*You can add a little rice in (1/4 cup) without skyrocketing the carbs.

*You can also do these in the Crock pot..
Do not boil the peppers, Set it up in the crock and cook on low 8-9 hours
