Lasagna Stuffed Peppers


Lasagna with no pasta, super low carb! It's a simple recipe and delicious. The peppers bring a great taste to the dish. I will definitely be making this again. 

The recipe calls for:
4 large peppers (we used red)
2 1/2 cups marinara sauce
ground meat
1 cup part skim ricotta cheese
1 cup part skin mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup parmasean cheese
italian seasoning 

-- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and put foil on a baking pan. 
-- Slice the peppers lengthwise and remove the seeds, etc. Place them on the baking dish and cook for 20 minutes. 
-- Cook and brown up the meat in a pan. We used lean ground turkey. Add the sauce to the pan once the meat is fully cooked. 
-- Layer the peppers with the meat/sauce mixture, then ricotta, more meat sauce and top with mozzarella cheese. 
-- Bake on the middle rack for 12 minutes. Remove from oven and top with parmasean cheese and italian seasoning. 
-- Bake for 5 more minutes on the top rack.
