    I love stuffed green peppers in tomato sauce - low carb, low fat, super simple and really yummy
    **You can swap the white rice for brown rice or bulgar wheat

    • 1 pound ground beef
    • 1/2 cup uncooked long grain white rice
    • 1 cup water
    • 6 green bell peppers
    • 2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
    • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
    • salt and pepper to taste
    • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

    preparation

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
    2. Place the rice and water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and cook 20 minutes. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the beef until evenly browned.
    3. Remove and discard the tops, seeds, and membranes of the bell peppers. Arrange peppers in a baking dish with the hollowed sides facing upward. (Slice the bottoms of the peppers if necessary so that they will stand upright.)
    4. In a bowl, mix the browned beef, cooked rice, 1 can tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Spoon an equal amount of the mixture into each hollowed pepper. Mix the remaining tomato sauce and Italian seasoning in a bowl, and pour over the stuffed peppers.
    5. Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, basting with sauce every 15 minutes, until the peppers are tender.

    If you are using the beef in a casserole type dish, you can rinse it with hot water to get the excess fat off or my sister actually boils the hamburger in water....not my favorite. However, when you season it for tacos or whatever you can't really tell and you get rid of the fat!

    Low-carb meatloaf! Mix that ground beef with two large eggs, one medium-size shredded zucchini or cucumber (or approx. 1 cup of any moist veggie, really, it's just there to keep the loaf from getting too dry), and two tablespoons of either mustard or spicy salsa (depending on what flavor you want). Shape it into a loaf, sprinkle some garlic salt and black pepper on top, bake for 40 minutes at 375 degrees.
