Italian Stuffed Bell Peppers - Paleo Style
4 green bell peppers, top removed and hollowed out
1 lb ground beef
1/2 yellow onion, diced
1 egg
2 jalapenos, seeds removed and diced fine
1 ten oz can of petite diced tomatoes (I like the garlic, oregano and basil flavored), drained of excess fluid
salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 375 and arrange bell peppers on a baking sheet, cut side up.
In a medium sized bowl, combine meat, onion, jalapeno, tomatoes and egg until mixed thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper. Fill bell pepper "cups" with meat mixture. If there's any left over, you can form patties and bake them on your baking sheet.
Bake at 375 for 35-40 minutes.
A note from the original blogger:
Typically, stuffed bell peppers have rice or breadcrumbs in them to bind the meat together. Mine does not, obviously, so while the egg helps, I typically serve mine by placing the bell pepper over a bed of vegetables. Then I slice it open and just mix the meat, pepper and veggies together before I eat it. It's just as good.
