Greek Stuffed Peppers - Healthy Recipe

Greek Stuffed peppers - healthy recipeAs the new year approaches, I know that many people are making resolutions to lose weight. Dieting, gym memberships, and diet supplements will be part of many people’s future. My own resolutions is to just eat more healthy foods. So I hit the foodnetwork website in search of a few healthy recipes. The first I tried was written by Ellie Krieger–Greek-style Stuffed Peppers. I tweaked the recipe to my own tastes using ingredients I had at home. I must say, they were the most delicious stuffed peppers I’ve ever eaten. So I hope you will try it out, and join me in the new year eating more nutritiously.

Ingredients
1 lb lean ground beef
1 (10 oz) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 medium zucchini, coarsely grated
1 small onion, minced (I used my food processor for the zucchini and the onion)
1 cup cooked rice
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon oregano
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper, to taste
3 red bell peppers, halved lengthwise, cores, seeds, and ribs removed
2 cans stewed tomatoes, finely chopped (I also used my food processor for this)
1/2 cup reduced fat feta cheese crumbles

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees

In a large bowl combine the beef, spinach, zucchini, onion, rice, egg, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.

Arrange pepper halves cut side up in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish, and fill each pepper with the meat mixture. Pour the tomatoes over the peppers then sprinkle with the feta cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until the meat mixture is completely cooked and the peppers are tender, about 25 minutes longer.

Serve with a nice Greek salad, and enjoy.
