Time 35m

Yield 4 stuffed peppers, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large green bell peppers, hollowed out
1/4 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced (I like 1 tbsp. of the jarred variety for real garlicky flavour!)
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
2 (15 ounce) cans macaroni, with beef (Chef Boyardee Beefaroni)
1 (8 ounce) can low-sodium tomatoes, cut up
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 (4 ounce) package mozzarella cheese, shredded (part skim mozzarella is also nice!)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Place hollowed out green peppers in a pot of boiling water, completely covering them, and cook 5 min; drain and set aside.
  • In a skillet, saute the onion and garlic in the oil; Add the Beefaroni, tomatoes and oregano and simmer on low for 10 minutes, stirring often.
  • Stuff the peppers with the beefaroni mixture and place the peppers in a square baking dish.
  • Top the peppers with the mozzarella cheese and bake in the preheated 400°F oven for 15 minute.
  • Variation: Any other part-skim shredded cheese would be flavourful, too!
