Ingredients
1lb extra-lean ground beef or whatever you prefer
1 yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 jar pasta sauce ( I used Raos)
1/2 tsp each salt & pepper
2 cups spinach, chopped
3 bell peppers any colour
3/4 cup ricotta cheese
11/2 cups mozzarella cheese, grated
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 F. Slice peppers in half and scoop out seeds/white piths.
Bake 10 minutes, then remove from oven.
In a large skillet cook the meat. Once it is cooked through add onion and garlic and cook for 3 minutes.
Stir in pasta sauce and cook for 3-5 minutes. Add spinach and remove from heat. Add half of beef mix to pepper (about halfway) then a layer of ricotta cheese and finish with beef. Top with mozzarella cheese and bake for 12-15 minutes. Enjoy.
If you decide to meal prep them beforehand, you will want to add some additional cook time to make sure they are warmed all the way through.
