Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 cup low sodium chicken broth divided
- 14 ounce canned diced tomatoes
- 1 cup cauliflower rice
- 1 tsp salt or to taste
- 1/4 tsp pepper or to taste
- 4 each bell peppers seeded and cut in half
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef and Italian sausage in a large skillet. Drain off all but 1 tbsp of fat. Add the onions, celery and garlic to the meat along with the Italian seasoning and continue cooking until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add 1/2 cup of chicken broth to the meat mixture and simmer to reduce by about half.
- Add the tomatoes and juice from the can, and mix well. Simmer to thicken, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the cauliflower rice and heat through. Turn off the heat. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the meat mixture to the cut pepper halves, being careful not to pack it in too tightly. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of chicken broth to the bottom of a 9x13 Pyrex (or similar) baking dish. Set the peppers filling side up, in the baking dish. Top with cheese and bake at 400F for about 35 minutes. Enjoy!
