Cooking: Flavorful Stuffed Bell Peppers
Ground Sirloin Stuffed Bell Peppers in the Cast Iron.
Stuffed bell peppers are one of my favorite healthier, low carb Mexican dishes. But I want them to taste good!! I am passionate about whole foods and real ingredients lately. Instead of using ground turkey and cauliflower, opted for ground sirloin with a little bit of rice mixed in. After all, I believe everything is OK in moderation.
90% lean beef. Rice. Fresh cut cilantro, fresh cut jalapeño and garlic, fresh cut onion, and various other spices. Topped with some Mexican cheese, and more fresh cut cilantro. Baked in the oven for 30 minutes at 350° in the cast-iron.
