🔪 Easy instructions

Start by chopping off the tops and scooping out the seeds of some bell peppers. Then, place them cut-side down and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

While the peppers are cooking, brown some ground beef with onion. Once the meat is browned, add chopped zucchini, garlic, and mushrooms.

Then you just saute the mixture until the veggies get soft.

Then, stir in a cup of whole30 marinara sauce - you can use store-bought or whip up my super-easy homemade marinara!

After that, scoop the filling into the bell peppers and top with a bit more marinara to keep the filling from drying out.

Top with mozzarella cheese or Daiya mozzarella cheese, if desired. Omit the cheese if you're doing a whole30.

Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Serve hot with green onion for garnish.

💭 Frequently asked questions

Do I have to use ground beef?

No, you don't! Ground turkey can be used instead of beef if preferred.

How are these dairy-free and whole30?

To keep these dairy-free and whole30, simply use soy-free marinara with no added sugar and use dairy-free cheese or omit the cheese altogether for whole30.

What if my bell peppers won't stand up?

I like to use a small baking dish so it forces the peppers to stand up. However, if your baking dish is too large to stand up or you're using a baking sheet, cut them in half lengthwise before adding the filling.
