Protein Stuffed Peppers That Actually Taste Good

Looking for a clean, protein-packed meal that doesn’t taste like bland “health food”? These protein stuffed peppers are the real deal—bold, spicy, filling, and perfect for busy women who want to eat clean without sacrificing flavor.

• 1 cup cooked white or brown rice

• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (check for gluten-free)

• 1 to 2 tsp Lola’s Trinidad Scorpion hot sauce (or your favorite)

• Salt and black pepper to taste

• ½ tsp turmeric

• 1 tsp paprika

• 2 tbsp bone broth (to mix into the beef for added moisture)

• 1 cup crumbled feta or grated fresh Parmesan

• 4 green bell peppers, tops sliced off like jack-o’-lanterns

• 4 slices provolone cheese

• Additional bone broth (enough to coat the bottom of the baking dish)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

2. In a large skillet or pot that isn’t nonstick, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat.

3. Add ground beef, chopped onions, mushrooms, garlic, Worcestershire, turmeric, paprika, salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Cook until the beef is nearly done.

4. Push the beef mixture to one side of the pan. Crack the eggs into the empty side and scramble until fully cooked.

5. Mix the eggs into the beef, then stir in 2 tablespoons of bone broth.

6. Cook your rice separately, then add it into the beef mixture.

7. Stir in the feta or Parmesan cheese.

8. Place your bell peppers upright in a small glass baking dish, tops removed.

9. Pour just enough bone broth into the bottom of the dish to lightly coat it.

10. Fill each pepper tightly with the beef mixture.

11. Cover the baking dish with another pan flipped upside down to create a tent.

12. Bake for 30 minutes.

13. Remove the top pan and place a slice of provolone cheese into each pepper. Return to the oven for 5 minutes or until melted and golden.
