Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Uncooked rice
  • 2 tsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Onion
  • 2 tbsp Tomato paste
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1 lb Ground Beef
  • 1 14.5 ounce can Diced tomatoes
  • 1.5 tbsp Oregano
  • to taste Salt & Pepper
  • 6 Bell Pepper
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack
  • for garnish Fresh Parsley

Instructions

  1. 1https://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/a23014857/classic-stuffed-peppers-recipe/
  2. 2Preheat oven to 400° F, prepare rice according to how the package states for a half cup.
  3. 3In pan, sautee onion for about 5 minutes until its softened up, then add the garlic and tomato paste for about a minute. Then add the ground beef and cook for about 6 minutes.
  4. 4Stir in rice and tomatoes, and season with cilantro, salt, pepper, and I also added a little bit of Italian seasoning, slap yo mama seasoning, and steak seasoning to add some additional flavors.
  5. 5Cut the top off the peppers after washing them off and core out the inside, I also sliced a small bit off the bottom to help them stand upright.
  6. 6Spoon the beef and rice mixture into the hollowed out pepper, and cover with shredded monterey jack cheese. I cooked mine uncovered for about 25 minutes as I still wanted a little crunch to the peppers, and then broiled for the last 4-5 minutes on a lower rack to develop a little crust. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve.

Ground Beef, Paleo-Approved

Ground beef is the perfect paleo protein — cheap, fast, and it pairs with anything that grows in a garden. The trick is skipping the pasta, cheese, and beans it usually leans on.

Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection because every recipe stays strictly paleo — no grains, no dairy, no legumes, no sugar — while still eating like a real dinner.

Every recipe here works for round-one Whole30, paleo reset weeks, and anyone cutting inflammation without giving up ground beef night.

Quick Tips

  1. 1

    Sweet potato in place of white potato

    Same starch role, paleo-approved, and it caramelizes better in a hot pan.

  2. 2

    Coconut aminos for soy sauce

    Paleo bans soy — aminos taste nearly identical and are compliant.

  3. 3

    Cauliflower rice underneath

    Skip the rice bowl base; cauliflower rice keeps it paleo without losing structure.

  4. 4

    Avocado replaces cheese

    Diced avocado adds the same rich fat that cheese does on a taco bowl.
