Preparation

  1. Serving size:
    14.30 oz (calculated)
    Notes: 2 stuffed bell pepper rings
  2. Temperature: 350 °F (preheated, circulating air)

    The bell pepper rings

  1. Wash and dry the bell peppers.
  2. Slice a bit off from the top and bottom, then cut out the seeds.
  3. Cut the rings in half crosswise.

  4. The filling

  5. Remove the stem from the tops of the pepper by simply pressing them from the top through.
  6. Chop the tops and bottoms from the bell pepper.
  7. Mix together with the ground beef, grated parmesan, egg, minced garlic and crushed pork rinds.
  8. Season to taste. We use Italian seasoning and pepper only, as the parmesan and pork rinds are salty already.

  9. Bringing it all together

  10. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease an oven-safe dish.
  11. Spread the bell pepper rings and generously fill them with the meat mixture.
  12. Top with some tomatoes - I like to use sliced cherry tomatoes - and sprinkle with grated mozzarella.
  13. Bake until the meat is done and the cheese has melted and browned, about 25 minutes.

  14. Meal Prep Tip

  15. You can store the dish in an airtight container for 5 days in the fridge or up to 6 months in the freezer. For best results, thaw overnight in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave, in the oven or on the stovetop.
