AUNT ROCKY'S ENCHILADA STUFFED BELL PEPPERS (LOW CARB, GRAIN-FREE) FOR THIS VERSION OF STUFFED BELL PEPPERS, I USED THE FILLINGS FOR GROUND BEEF ENCHILADAS. TASTY AND FILLING, AND VERY EASY! AND EVEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray cooking spray in a baking pan big enough to hold all the halved peppers lying flat cut side up. Set aside.
• Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise (down through the stem, or just beside the stem). Remove seeds and membranes. Put peppers in a microwaveable dish and splash with a tablespoon of water. Cover tightly and microwave on high for 3 minutes. Drain well, and lay the peppers out in the baking pan or casserole big enough for them to lay flat with their cut sides up.
• Brown ground beef with onion in a large skillet. Give the meat a light sprinkle of salt and pepper while cooking. Cook until onions are translucent and water from meat has evaporated. Drain the grease.
• While meat is cooking, drain olives and set aside 6 halves or slices to use as garnish.
• Add garlic to cooked meat, and continue cooking for another minute. Add enchilada sauce, tomato sauce, drained olives, remaining spices, and 1 cup of the cheese to the hamburger. Stir until cheese is completely melted and mixture has thickened somewhat.
• Divide enchilada stuffing evenly among pepper cups. Sprinkle remaining cheese over the top. If you reserved any of the olive halves/slices, put them on top of the cheese. This is just for presentation, so if you forgot to set some aside, don't worry about it.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until cheese on top begins to brown. Remove from oven, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve.
• Leftovers may be frozen.
• Notes:
• • I stuffed both red and green bell peppers, and I like the red much better for this dish. They give it a sweetness the green does not impart. The green bell peppers have 1 less carb per serving. To improve macros, I recommend serving with some avocado slices on the side.
• • Use any enchilada sauce that is gluten free, sugar free, and has no added tomato sauce.
• • You'll be using only 1/2 of a small can of tomato sauce. Be sure you use one with no added sugar. You can freeze the other half in a freezer bag and save to use next time, or make 2 batches at one time and freeze the extras to be warmed and served later.

LOW CARB INSIDE OUT STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Dump cole slaw into 6 qt. slow cooker
• Layer on the frozen green beans, then the chopped bell peppers. (If you really want more of the green pepper taste, add 1 or 2 more green peppers, chopped. I wanted to put in one more but was running out of room in the pot. Perhaps 3/4 of a bag of cole slaw would have been better and then add additional green pepper -- but it really was delicious as it was.)
• Layer on the frozen meat balls and chopped onion then sprinkle the salt and garlic powder over top of everything
• Mix the red wine and the tomato sauce in a bowl and drizzle over everything, trying to touch all the meat balls.
• Cut up the 1/2 stick of butter into individual pats and dot the whole pan with them.
• Put the lid on and turn the timer to high for 4 hours. (Can probably also cook for about 8 hours on low if you like)
• After mine had been cooking for about an hour, I stirred everything to mix up the layers and really get the flavors to permeate all the ingredients. If you are doing an all day, away from home, slow cook, then you don't really have to stir it. OR you can simply stir it once before you leave for work. It should be fine.
