Stuffed Bell Peppers (Or Meatloaf)

Some of you have requested to know what I filled my bell peppers with and the truth is it is practically my meatloaf recipe minus any type of cracker or bread crumbs or oatmeal.  So what did I replace the crumbs with?  Mushrooms.

Low Carb Stuffed Bell Peppers

2 bell peppers

1 lb. lean ground beef

1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped

1 egg

1/2 medium onion, finely chopped

1 tsp minced garlic

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

2 tsp dried parsley

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Salt & pepper

Cut each pepper into thirds, remove seeds and ribs, rinse and pat dry.  Line the peppers up in a lightly oiled baking dish.  

Place remaining ingredients into a bowl and mix until well blended.  Evenly divide the meat mixture among the peppers.  

Cover with foil and bake at 400° for 35 to 45 minutes until peppers are tender.  Serves 6.

You can also shape the meat mixture in a meatloaf or mini meatloaves if you wish.  Pretty versatile and of course completely keto/low carb.  We have really enjoyed it and the mushrooms work really well as a substitute for the crumbs you would usually add to meatloaf.  Good flavor and it also makes some pretty tasty meatballs too.
