Learning as I go

In the last 5 years I have really taken to cooking. I didn't do much at first, some baking mostly. I have discovered it is a new passion of mine and felt that this would be a great way to share the many recipes that have come my way along with some originals of my own. In the last couple weeks we have started receiving CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) - local grown fruit and vegetables and boy have I had fun figuring out what all I can do with it. Ive been making and cooking things I never imagined I would. So if you have found a passion in cooking like I have you have come to the right place. I hope you enjoy!

Meatloaf Stuffed Peppers


Here is a fun and healthy way to make meatloaf that I got from my mom. With this you get your protein and your vegetables all in one. I have included Paleo substitutes for anyone interested in making it that way. This is one of our favorites because each one is a portion already created and will last a couple nights if there are just two of you.

Ingredients:

  • 1lb Hamburger (or Ground Turkey)
  • 1/2 Onion diced
  • Chopped Bell Peppers (I usually dice up the tops after I have cut them off)
  • 1 Clove Garlic
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 Cup Soda Crackers (crushed) or bread/seasoning ( I also use Almond Meal)
  • 1/2 Cup Milk (I use Almond Milk)
  • 1/3 Cup Ketchup
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • Salt and Pepper to taste 
  • 6 to 8 Bell Peppers

Sauce 

  • 2 Tbsp Prepared Mustard
  • 2Tbsp Brown Sugar ( I sometimes substitute with Honey)
  • 2 Tbsp Ketchup 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
In large bowl combine meatloaf ingredients with the exception of your whole peppers.
In a separate bowl combine ingredients for sauce and set aside. 
Place whole peppers in a glass baking dish and add about 1/2 inch of water to the bottom. Add meatloaf mixture to inside of pepper and pour sauce over top. 
Cook for 1 hour 25 min 

Love and Enjoy!
