I love stuffed peppers and I think that this is an interesting take on them. Ground turkey would probably work well too. I got this from Family Circle magazine. Ingredients:
3 green bell peppers |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 cup onion, chopped |
1 cup red bell pepper, chopped |
1 1/4 lbs ground chicken |
2 tablespoons chili powder |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin |
1 (15 ounce) can small white beans, rinsed and drained |
1/2 cup barbecue sauce |
2 tablespoons tomato paste |
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded |
1/2 cup sour cream |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F.
2. Slice peppers lengthwise and clean out seeds.
3. In a large skillet heat oil over medium-high heat.
4. Add onion, cook and stir about 3 minutes.
5. Add red pepper, cook and stir about 2 minutes.
6. Add ground chicken, cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink.
7. Stir in chili powder, oregano, salt, pepper and cumin; cook 2 minutes longer.
8. Mash half the beans coarsely.
9. Stir all beans, barbecue sauce and tomato paste into chicken. Cook about 2 minutes and remove from heat.
10. Fill each pepper with the mixture and top with cheese.
11. Bake peppers until heated, about 10 minutes. Garnish with sour cream.
