Pepper Tacos!

Hey Monday! My favorite day as far as TV is concerned.  It's been very lazy.  I did some house work and Brylee took full advantage of playing all.day.long! Another cold front hit so we stayed in and kept warm. 


Due to our lazy day, a really good dinner sounded so good.  Pepper Tacos is an all time favorite around here so I thought I'd share that recipe. 

It's super simple, really good, and low cal (if you're counting)!


Here's what ya need:

Pictured:
3-4 medium sized bell peppers
1/2 cup shredded cheese
1/4 cup Salsa
Taco Seasoning - low sodium

Not Pictured:
1 lb ground beef (I use ground sirloin)
toppings (lettuce, tomato, sour cream)*
2 cups of water (to boil)

-Preheat oven to 350°
-Brown beef in skillet
-Bring water to a boil
-While meat is cooking, cut around stem of peppers, pull stem out and then cut the peppers in half.      Remove the rest of the seeds if desired.
-Place peppers in boiling water for 3-5 minutes (will be slippery and color will darken)
-When meat is finished, add taco seasoning (according to package), cheese and salsa.
-Place peppers on pan and scoop taco mix into it
-Bake for 25-30 minutes
-Top with whatever you'd like, and voila!

We added a side of spanish rice and called it a meal! It was so good. 

*Total calories (without extra toppings): 265 per pepper!

Let me know if y'all make it and what ya think! Have a great week.
