21 Day Fix Stuffed Peppers


Do you have a picky spouse that will only eat certain foods?
Do you have a hard time finding foods to feed the whole family?
I DO!

My husband is extremely picky.
He doesn't like CHEESE but he eats pizza with cheese, Peppers with cheese, Mac N Chees (occasionally), ETC. I just don't get it so sometimes I just have to guess or make things and tell him dinner is a surprise and then he will eat whatever.

So every night he asks me what is for dinner, except tonight he did not ask. So I took it upon myself to make something that I know he isn't a super fan for but I LOVE. I tried changing the recipe to see if maybe he would like it better. (he isn't a big baked bell pepper fan)

STUFF BELLPEPPERS

Ingredients:
  • 2 Bell Peppers (makes 4, or depending on your family size)
  • 2 Jalapenos
  • 1/4 Onion
  • 2 cups Brown Rice, or one bag "boil in a bag"
  • 1 TBSP Chili Powder
  • ! TSP Cumin
  • 1/2 cup of spaghetti sauce (or salsa or tomato sauce)
  • 1 Lb Ground Turkey
  • Shredded Cheese
Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Slice the peppers in half and clean insides.
  3. If you like the peppers a little softer you can place them in the over for 15 minutes without filling and remove(while everything else is cooking.
  4. Cook the brown rice for 10 minutes (or follow instructions)
  5. Cut up the jalapenos and onion and place to the side.
  6. Toss the ground turkey in a frying pan. Let cook for a few minutes and then toss in the jalapenos and onions.
  7. When it is almost done add the chili powder, cumin && Salsa (my preference/chunky). Stir to combine.
  8. Pour both the cooked ground turkey and the rice in a bowl to combine. Add extra salsa if you want.
  9. Take the peppers out of the oven and fill them with the mixture. Distribute evenly between the pepper-halves.
  10. Top with shredded cheese.
  11. Put back in the oven for another 15-20 minutes and you are done!
