Taco Stuffed Green Bell Peppers

By: Desireé Johnson

½ lb. ground beef

2 T. tomato sauce

1 T. taco seasoning

¼ onion, chopped

¼ c. mushrooms, diced or chopped

6 green bell peppers, hollowed out

1 can black beans, drained and warmed up

⅛ head of lettuce

½ c. cheddar cheese, grated

6 T. sour cream

Directions:

Brown the beef. Mix in the onion, mushrooms, tomato sauce and taco seasoning.

Then layer everything in the hollowed out peppers in the following order: black beans, taco meat mixture and cheese. Fill about ⅔ - ¾ full.

Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes.

Top with lettuce and 1 T. of sour cream.

Note:
To make this even healthier, substitute the ground beef with extra-lean ground beef or turkey.
