We had a travel day yesterday and I wanted something quick to fix once we got into our overnight spot. This filled the bill wonderfully.
Taco-Stuffed Pepper Cups
2 medium peppers
1/2 lb lean ground beef (turkey)
2 Tbl chopped onion
1 can (15 1/2 oz.) kidney beans drained and rinsed
1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce
3 Tbl taco seasoning (almost one package)
1/4 cup FF sour cream
1/4 cup shredded reduced fat cheese
1/4 cup chopped tomato
Cut peppers in half and remove veins and seeds. Put peppers in boiling water for 3-5 minutes. Drain and rinse; set aside
Cook meat and onion in a skillet until no longer pink and onions are soft. Stir in beans, tomato sauce and taco seasoning; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 5-6 minutes
Spoon meat mixture into peppers. Place in an ungreased 8" square baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 10-12 minutes. Top with sour cream, cheese, and tomatoes.
one pepper 261 calories (4 pts)
6 gr. fat 2 saturated
I served this with brown rice (boil in bag - 10 minutes) topped with a Central Market (Heb) frozen Porcini and White mushrooms and Spinach in a herb garlic sauce. (100 calories per serving plus the rice)
I had dinner on the table in about 40 minutes and we had just over 500 calories but more importantly, were satisfied and avoided going out for fried whatever!
