Stuffed No Salt Low Fat Peppers
Well if that title doesn’t make your mouth water I’m not sure what would! (Insert Extreme Sarcasm) I have to admit you probably aren’t going to win any cooking shows with this one but they were pretty good. After all, I was able to workout while these were baking, get two nights worth of meals out of it AND my husband ate it without any complaints. Anytime I can do all that and it’s still healthy well it just makes me feel like I hacked the code to life.
Below is a link to the original recipe. I made a few alterations to both the ingredients and overall recipe.
Ingredient Swaps and Adds:
For the meat I used 96% fat free extra lean ground beef. (You can use turkey as well. I would recommend the lean over extra lean due to dryness.) For the chicken broth I used the no salt added chicken broth. This is not the low sodium this is the no salt added and is pretty much salt free from a broth standpoint. I also picked up a carton of Hunts no salt added tomato sauce and salt free Italian spice. Finally, I subbed the brown rice for the listed white.
The recipe as it stands comes out a bit dry. To make it better I poured the no salt added tomato sauce over the stuffed peppers before baking and topped each with a few shakes of Italian seasoning. Ten minutes before they are done sprinkle low fat Mozzarella on each pepper.
All in this took me about an hour AND I did a workout video while they baked. I got home at 5:30 and had my workout and dinner on the table by 7:00 without using something from a box. BAM take that life!
