QUICK & EASY STUFFED BELL PEPPERS!

Y’all know if I can find a balance of a healthy, quick and easy, and tasty meals I’ll do it. We got a lot on our plates (no pun intended) and sometimes we gotta get creative with our meal plans. Depending on my schedule, I can’t always do whole and fresh foods, so I’ll mix them up with some frozen items from time to time. I like to find recipes, and freestyle to my flavor palette and use them as guidelines. So please excuse my loose measurements haha. Feel free to try this recipe out if you’re looking for something new! Let me know how you like it!

3 Bell Peppers

Gardein beefless ground (or substitute your choice protein ️)

Trader Joe’s Rice Medley (Frozen Section)

1/2 cup Organic Chicken Broth

8oz Fire Roasted Tomatoes

Veggies: Broccoli, Onion, Mushrooms Parsley, Minced Garlic

Season to your liking: Cumin, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder

Optional: Sprinkle Sharp Cheddar

Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut bell peppers in half, vertically, and remove seeds. Microwave one bag of the @traderjoes rice medley for 3 min. Dice your choice of vegetables. Sautee beefless ground, veggies and rice with chicken broth and fire roasted tomatoes. Spoon the stir fry into bell peppers. Optional – top with cheese. Pour the rest of the chicken broth in pan.
