Ingredients

  • 2 small packages mini peppers organic if possible or one large package
  • 1 lb ground lean grass fed beef
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1/2- 1 cup salsa organic or make your own
  • Optional Toppings: shredded cheese diced tomatoes, sliced jalapenos, sliced olives, chopped cilantro, sour cream

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Slice the peppers lengthwise, then remove the stem and seeds. Place on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper for easy clean up.
  • Place peppers in the oven for 12 minutes to roast.
  • In a large skillet, over medium heat, cook the ground beef breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Cook until no longer pink.
  • Add the garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, and salsa. Mix well and then allow to cool before stuffing the peppers.
  • Remove peppers from the oven and stuff them using a small spoon.
  • To serve Paleo: don't add the cheese but do add other toppings like diced tomatoes, jalapenos, cilantro.
  • If not serving Paleo: Top with shredded cheese and place under broiler for two minutes to melt the cheese. Then top with your favorite toppings.
