STUFFED PEPPERS – SWEETCHEEK STYLE.

By Traver

Here’s a healthy recipe from our good friends at Sweet Cheeks HQ!! Check them out at www.sweetcheekshq.com for more healthy eating tips and ridiculousness!!

Stuffed Peppers

1 pound beef

1 pound sweet italian sausage, minus the casing

4 large green peppers

1 large onion

2 carrots

1 teaspoon crushed garlic

1/2 head of cauliflower

6 ounce can of tomato paste

1 tablespoon oregano

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

salt and pepper to taste

Cut the tops of the peppers and clean the seeds out.

Arrange peppers in the crock pot standing up and make sure they fit securely.

Grate onion, carrots, garlic and cauliflower in the food processor or just chop them into small pieces with a knife if you don’t have a food processor.

In a big bowl, combine ground meats, chopped vegetables, seasonings and tomato paste.

Add salt and pepper to taste. Stuff the peppers with the mixture and arrange leftover meat mixture between and under the peppers. Add half a cup of water over and around the peppers, cover and cook on low for at least 8 hours and up to 10.

If you don’t have your own “personal chef”, this dish can be cooked in the oven, covered, for 1-2 hours.

Enjoy!

I made this last night (substituted ground turkey for ground beef) and cooked it in the oven- 375 degrees for 1.5 hrs covered with foil. Good stuff, thanks sweet cheeks!!
