Photo: Greek-Style Stuffed Peppers Recipe
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.

This looks delish & plan to make it tomorrow. Thinking I may brown meat w/garlic & some seasoning first, then mix with the other ingredients. And i plan to use whole wheat cous-cous, which my family loves. Will report back on how it turned out!

I made these last night. I don't know why but mine were still raw on the inside after cooking for the time stated. I had to cook them for an extra 20 minutes for the meat to be cooked. They were ok but I am sure I can tweak the recipe and make it really good. I will add some grated carrot, add the cheese to the inside, add some garlic and that should make them fabulous! I do absolutely LOVE Ellie and I really wish you would have some NEW shows. I have seen every single episode and want more!

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.
