Low Carb Stuffed Bell Peppers
Serves 2.
Ingredients: - butter
- 2 TB seasoned bread crumbs
- half package of spicy Italian sausage
- a couple TB or so of fine chopped onion
- 2 large bell peppers
Cut the tops off of the bells and clean out the seeds. Boil a few moments but don't get them too soggy. Drain.
Preheat oven to 3500F.
Saute the onion in butter until it's translucent. Break up the sausage and brown it in the buttered onions.
Stuff the sausage mix into the bells. Push it down with a spoon to get it all in. Sprinkle 1 TB ea. of the seasoned crumbs on top. Put a pat of butter on top of each. Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Note: A tip for seasoned bread crumbs, which are something you're not likely to have hanging around if you're low carbing. Buy a loaf of bread and freeze individual slices in the freezer. Heck, you might only use a slice a week. When you need the bread crumbs, take one slice out of the freezer and toast it in the toaster. Butter. Grate the amount of crumbs you need and discard the rest of the bread. Salt and paprika on the crumbs. It works just fine and the price is right, since canned bread crumbs would probably go stale on this diet before you could use them all. The bread slices will stay good in your freezer for a year as long as the power stays on.
