Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 medium zucchini, coarsely grated (about 2 cups)
  • 1 small onion, minced (about 1 cup)
  • 1/2 cup bulghur
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 red bell peppers, halved lengthwise, cores and ribs removed
  • 2 (14 1/2-ounce) cans low-sodium stewed tomatoes, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl combine the beef, spinach, zucchini, onion, bulghur, egg, oregano, salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.

Arrange the pepper halves cut side up in a 9 by 13-inch baking dish and fill each pepper half with the meat mixture. Pour the tomatoes over the peppers and 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.

    I used ground turkey as well. Great way to get my hubby to eat his veggies (me too. I thought it was tasty, nutritious, and easy to make. Will be making this on a regular basis. Love Ellie's healthy and tasty recipes.

    I used ground turkey instead of beef and 1/2 cup cooked quinoa instead of the bulghur. I also cooked the ground meat prior to stuffing the peppers to save on cooking time. Next time I will mix the cheese into the stuffing as a some of it fell off the top of the peppers. I had no problems with dryness.

    I used ground turkey bc it's what I had defrosted. AND I added garlic. I thought they were dry and flavorless. That being said I am more likely to eat something like this since I eat more cleanly than my son or husband and I wasn't impressed. They would prefer I stick to the more traditional version- ground turkey, brown rice, and cheddar.

    Ground beef wouldnt have been as dry but would still have been lackluster.
