I make this ahead of time for a quick lunch the next day or easy dinner. These also freeze well! I make mine vegan but of course you can use real meat if you would like.

Ingredients

2 Red Bell Peppers; seeded & halved

1 lb Meatless Meat; Ground Beef Crumbles (in freezer section)

1 cup Brown Rice, cooked

1/2 cup Cooked Broccoli

1/2 cup Cooked Mushrooms

1/3 cup Onions; chopped

1tablespoon Olive Oil

1tablespoon Garlic

1tsp Hot Sauce

1tsp Cumin

1/2 tsp Pepper

1/2 tsp Salt

Cooking Spray

Preparation

Preheat Oven to 425 degrees.

Spray baking sheet with cooking spray. Place halved peppers on baking sheet and spray with cooking spray. Roast in oven for about 5 to 8 mins.

Meanwhile add Olive oil to a large skillet. Cook meat until brown and carmelized; about 5 minutes. Add oinion and cook for 2 mins. Then add the garlic. Season the meat and oinion mixture with the cumin, salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Add the cooked rice. Then the veggies (in this case mushrooms & broccoli).

Take Bell pepper's out of the oven let cool for 5 mins. and fill with the stuffing mixture. You can freeze or save for another day at this point.

When ready to eat. Place stuffed peppers on a greased baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes on 425 degrees or until hot.

Cook's Notes

You may have some stuffing left over. If so, I have used this stuffing in omelets or spread over a peice of whole wheat bread!
