Fabulous recipe that has become a staple meal. I didn't use the olive oil and it turned out great without and it reduces the calories and macros.

What can I use instead of the peppers
Sue 4 years ago
Try a portabello mushroom, just remove the stem and scoop out the black stuff inside. We use them for portabello pizza's as well. They are great! Another alternative, cut a zucchini in half and scoop out the middle a bit so you can fill them, or spiral the zucchini and load the meat on top, then cheese on top and bake the same.

That was yummy! I made a larger batch so I could have leftovers. I think next time I will cook my peppers a little before. I didn’t mind them crunchy but I would rather softer.

Wow! I make these by stuffing them with Italian sausage and cook them in tomato sauce. I topp it off with mozzarella and Parmesan. I have to try your version too. 😋
