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.

Rich Aroma! Very easy!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

These peppers were a hit for me and my roommate! I had one question, though, I wasn't sure if I was supposed to cook the meat... before I added it to the mixture or not. That might be a silly question, but I don't cook much!! I cooked the meat first and also doubled the oregano. These were delicious!!! The aroma filled the apartment and the dish looked so impressive, but it was very easy to make. Definitely will make again!Read more

Good with some adjustments
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I changed out the ground beef for a lamb sausage/beef mix, added some crushed red pepper, crushed garlic, and some extra... oregano. It came out very well. The cooking time really doesn't need to be adjusted since you're using lamb sausage. Also, like many of the reviews, use some extra stewed tomatoes for moisture depending on how fatty the lamb is that you use. Read more

Should have read the comments first...
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Yes, it was a bit bland. I also used rice, which was crunchy a little bit. I baked it for almost an hour and a half, because... I like my peppers well done. Next time, I will add feta and garlic to the mixture itself, and will probably skip the tomatoes because they did not do much for me. Maybe I'll come up with a better tomato sauce for this. Not too bad, overall.Read more

Really good.........just needs a few adjustments!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

When deciding to try this recipe, read all the reviews first. There was a person on here that recommended doubling the salt,... oregano........adding balsamic vinegar, and another that said to try adding your own favorite pasta sauce to this recipe! Because I read all the reviews I think my finished product was wonderful! Not bland, had a wonderful aroma wafting from it, and tasted great! I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone and everyone........of course with a few changes.Read more
