Stuffed Green Peppers

Ingredients:

3.75 oz 93% fat free lean ground beef, cooked (3/4 Lean)

1 oz 2% reduced fat Mexican Cheese (1/4 Lean)

1/2 cup or 90 grams cooked from frozen cauliflower, grated (1 or 2 peppers to cook the meat in)  (1 Green)

1/2 cup Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies (1 Green)

1/2 cup or 68 grams green pepper, cooked (1 Green)

2 tsp low sodium taco seasoning mix (3 Condiments)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut the top off of the green pepper and set aside. Take out the insides of the green pepper and discard. Boil the top and bottom for about 5 minutes or until tender. Drain.

Brown ground beef until done and drain excess grease. Take out 3.75 oz and reserve the rest for another use. Combine ground beef, rotel tomatoes, grated cauliflower, taco seasoning, half the cheese, and a little bit of water. Stir over medium heat until cheese melts and until well blended. Pour mixture into green pepper and sprinkle the top with the other half of cheese. Place top of green pepper back on and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. To make sure I get the right amount of green peppers, I empty the meat mixture on a plate and chop the green pepper into pieces. Then I weigh the green pepper until I get 68 grams and reserve the rest for another recipe. Combine the meat mixture and green peppers together. Enjoy!

*Note: For an Italian flavor, use 1/2 cup Italian diced tomatoes that is less than 5 grams of carbs per serving and Italian seasonings as your condiments
