2 lbs of ground meat (combo of any sausage, beef, turkey, chicken)
4 Large green Peppers
1 Large onion
2 carrots
4 cloves of garlic
1/2 head cauliflower
6 ounce can of tomato paste
1 T dry oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste
Cut the tops off the bell peppers -discard- scoop out seeds and wash throughly.
Grate onion, carrots, and cauliflower in food processor or chop by hand.
In a large bowl combine meat, chopped veggies, oregano and tomato paste.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Stuff peppers with meat/veggie mix. Place in crock pot. Add 1/2 cup of water and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
I haven't tried this one yet but plan on trying it tomorrow. I will be omitting the cauliflower and cooking it on high for half the time. Stay tuned for results.
They turned out perfect. I purchased a meat thermometer and checked the temp to make sure they were done in the middle. They had an allover pink color from the tomato past so.... I think that next time I will cut the meat by half because there was quite a bit left over , which the recipe says you can place around the bell peppers in the crock pot. I do think that this meat would be good served over brown rice or gluten free pasta for a "two for one" crock pot meal. Peppers one day and meat/ rice the next.
ReplyDeleteMade them again today I added a cut up squash instead of cauliflower and no sausage just 1 lb of ground natural beef. They turned out great. Yum~
