Easy Stuffed Bell Pepper Recipe

You know a dish is healthy when a vegetable is the star, and that’s why I’m providing you with my easy stuffed bell pepper recipe. Zach and I eat pretty healthy, especially during the week. And I’ve said it before, but when I find a recipe that’s easy, healthy, and inexpensive, I’ll make it over and over again. In an attempt to break the cycle, I began experimenting with the stuffed bell pepper. I tried multiple recipes, and eventually came to my own variation of them all.

My sweet husband loves them. He generally likes when I make new things, but he seemed to really enjoy these peppers. When asked to pose with the peppers, he playfully agreed.

I’m not a huge fan of ground beef in general, so I will always be quick to substitute turkey. I’m just lucky turkey happens to be the healthier option. Also, Zach hates cooked tomatoes, so I substituted them for a low-sodium tomato soup. It’s a weird thing him and my oldest brother have in common, and a little sad because I really love tomatoes.
