Beef-Stuffed Peppers

List of Ingredients








2 medium red bell peppers, halved and seeded
2 medium yellow bell peppers, halved and
seeded
8 ounces lean ground beef (10% or less fat)
2 cups finely chopped tomatoes
1 cup finely chopped onions
1 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
3 egg whites
3 tablespoons plain dried bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup tomato sauce (no salt added)
Fresh flat-leaf parsley sprigs, to garnish





Recipe



Preheat oven to 400o F. Spray large shallow baking pan with nonstick
cooking spray.

Place red and yellow bell pepper halves, cut- side up, in large
microwavable baking dish with vented cover; microwave on Medium (70%
power) 10 minutes, until tender. Uncover; let stand until cool.

Meanwhile, in medium bowl, combine beef, tomatoes, onions, green bell
pepper, egg whites, bread crumbs, salt and black pepper.

Fill each cooked pepper half with an equal amount of beef mixture,
pressing mixture down and, with fork, making decorative ridges into
top of mixture. Place stuffed pepper halves, stuffed-side up, into
prepared baking pan; bake 25-30 minutes, until beef mixture is
lightly browned. Pour tomato sauce over stuffed pepper halves; bake
15-20 minutes longer, until sauce is bubbling and browned around
edges. Serve garnished with parsley.Makes 4 servings
