Bell Peppers, Stuffed - Atkins Recipe










Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded, divided
1 cup tomato sauce, low carbohydrate, (such as Rao)
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions:

This is an easy one-dish meal. If you prefer your peppers on the soft side,
cook them in the microwave a few minutes before stuffing, and reduce the
baking time by 20 minutes. Feel free to season the beef mixture with a tsp
of oregano, marjoram or thyme.

1. Heat oven to 350º F. In large bowl, mix ground beef, ricotta cheese, 1/2
cup mozzarella, salt, pepper and half the tomato sauce until well
combined.

2. Slice top off peppers and remove seeds and ribs. With a small knife, cut
a few small slits in the bottom of each pepper (to drain liquid released
by the beef as it cooks).

3. Select a baking dish that will hold the peppers snugly; pour remaining
sauce in bottom of the dish. Arrange peppers open side up and stuff with
meat mixture. Top with remaining mozzarella.

4. Spray a large piece of aluminum foil with nonstick cooking spray. Place
sprayed side down over peppers. Bake, covered, 30 minutes. Uncover, and
bake 50 minutes more, or until meat is cooked through and cheese has
browned.

The metaphor of the melting pot is unfortunate and misleading. A more accurate analogy would be a salad bowl, for, though the salad is an entity, the lettuce can still be distinguished from the chicory, the tomatoes from the cabbage.
