Ingredients

    2 serving 1 Med. Green Bell Pepper
    16 oz 80/20 ground beef chuck
    0.5 oz Mission Chicharrones Pork Rinds (4 large spicy pork rinds)
    4 clove Garlic
    .5 cup Kraft Shredded 2% Mexican Four Cheese blend
    1 large Egg, fresh, whole, raw
    1 tsp Thyme, ground
    1 tsp Salt
    1 tsp Pepper, black
    1 tsp Paprika
    1 tsp Turmeric, ground
    4 tbsp Trader Joe's Pico de Gallo Salsa (by GIRL150)
    1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Directions

Prepare peppers by slicing off a little of the top and bottom of each pepper. Do not discard these. Cut out ribs and seeds. Slice into 2 thick rings and place on a sheet pan lined with parchment for easy clean up.

In a food processor, prepare remaining bell pepper parts (the ones not to discard) by chopping into large pieces. Combine in a food processor with ground beef, garlic, spices & seasonings, olive oil, pork rinds, .25 cup cheese, and egg.

Stuff each pepper with meat mixture leaving a dome of the mixture on top of each pepper.

Heat a bit of coconut oil in a large oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. (If you do not have an oven-safe pot, you will just transfer them into a casserole dish to bake later).

Brown each stuffed pepper ring for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side. You may need to do this in 2 batches depending on the size of your pot.

Once, browned on each side, put a tablespoon of pico de gallo salsa on top over the stuffed pepper rings. (Transfer to casserole dish before topping with crushed tomatoes if you do not have an oven-safe pot.

Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes. Top with remaining cheese and bake for 5 more minutes.
