Equipment

  • 1 air fryer optional

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 lb ground meat (lean)
  • ½ whole onion
  • 2 tsp garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup broccoli slaw
  • 1 ½ cup cooked grain
  • 1 can tomato sauce (15 oz)
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning
  • cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • 6 whole bell peppers
  • 2 tbsp parsley (garnish)

Instructions

  • Heat oil in pan. Add in onion. Cook until soft.
  • Add in garlic and meat. Cook and crumble until cooked almost all the way through.
  • Add in broccoli slaw. Cook until soft.
  • Remove from heat. Add in grain, tomato sauce, seasoning, and mozzarella.
  • Cut tops off each bell pepper. Cut off bottom to level if necessary. Fill each bell pepper with meat mixture.
  • Air fry at 360° for 10 minutes. Add additional cheese on top of each pepper. Then air fry for an additional 2 minutes to melt the cheese. Garnish with parsley.

Notes

To make in the oven, try baking at 385 for 15 minutes, adding cheese and then baking an additional 5 minutes. I have not tried this myself, so watch closely.
