Beef Stuffed Peppers

SERVES: 4

PREP: 5 Min

COOK TIME: 13 Min

We can save a ton of time because the ground round is lean enough to stuff into the bell peppers without cooking and draining it first.

What You'll Need

4 green bell peppers
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 (14-ounce) jar spaghetti sauce, divided
1 cup seasoned croutons, crushed
1 teaspoon dried onion flakes or
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 pound ground round
Grated Parmesan cheese

What to Do

Cut off tops of bell peppers, and remove seeds and membranes.
Combine egg, 3/4 cup spaghetti sauce, and next 4 ingredients. Stuff peppers with beef mixture; place peppers in a lightly greased 8-inch square microwave-safe baking dish. Cover loosely with wax paper.
Microwave at HIGH 12 minutes, giving dish a half-turn after 6 minutes if your microwave doesn't have a turntable. Spoon 1 tablespoon spaghetti sauce over each pepper; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and microwave at HIGH 45 seconds. Heat remaining spaghetti sauce, and serve with bell peppers.

This was a fast and easy dinner to make. It looked yummy in the orange peppers. Any time time my husband says " we can have this again" I know it's a winner!
