Stuffed Bell Pepper Recipe

Wow!  It's been so long since I've posted on this blog.  It's about time!  I made this wonderful recipe this evening for dinner and wanted to share it with you!  I will make a point to blog more of my nutrition tips, ideas, and recipes.  Happy eating (clean)!

Stuffed Bell Peppers

I made 2 different types of stuffed peppers.  

1) Chicken / Avocado Stuffed Peppers

2) Bison / Bacon Stuffed Peppers

CHICKEN / AVOCADO STUFFED PEPPERS

Ingredients for 2servings:

2 Peppers

6-8 oz. pulled chicken

6-12 tablespoons or 1 sm avocado (I used 6, but wished I would have used 12)

1 egg

*Salt & Pepper (to taste- optional)

*Paprika (to taste- optional)

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cut off tops of bell peppers and remove seeds. 

Whisk egg and avocado together until fluffy with an electric mixer.  

Mix in pulled chicken.  ( I had left over rotisserie chicken that I needed to use up.. it was perfect).

Add Salt, Pepper, and Paprika to taste if desired.  (I like the cayenne pepper, it gives it a little extra flavor).

Stuff mixture into bell pepper.

Bake about 30 minutes or until the egg/avocado seems cooked.  It will be a little moist.  

Enjoy!

BISON / BACON STUFFED PEPPERS

Ingredients for 2 servings:

2 Peppers

12oz. Ground Bison

4 Strips of bacon

1 Egg

*Salt & Pepper (to taste- optional)

*Paprika (to taste- optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds.

Cook the bacon and crumble into pieces 

     *(I cooked my bacon in a cast iron skillet- and used the skillet to bake later...bacon grease and all).

Mix the bison, egg, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper and bacon crumbles.  Don't be afraid to use your hands!

If you want to use the excess bacon grease, feel free to roll your peppers around in it or if you prefer to use olive oil, that is a great option as well.  FATS are a must!

Stuff mixture into pepper.

Bake for 45min to a 1 hour.  Time can vary depending on how well you like your meat cooked.  

Enjoy!
