Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the tops off the green peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Set them aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add the chopped onion, celery, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the tomato sauce, stevia leaf sweetener, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and white pepper. Mix well to combine. Simmer the mixture on low heat for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Place the prepared green peppers in a baking dish. Spoon the beef mixture into each pepper, packing it tightly.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of each stuffed pepper. Return the dish to the oven and bake, uncovered, for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove the stuffed peppers from the oven. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Choose fresh green peppers that are firm and free of blemishes for the best results.
- You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- Ensure the bell peppers are pre-cooked or steamed slightly before stuffing to ensure they are tender once baked.
- Feel free to customize the seasoning according to your preference; adding a touch of paprika or chili powder can give an extra kick.
- For a low-carb version, skip the stevia leaf sweetener or replace the tomato sauce with a sugar-free option.
- You can prepare the Sloppy Joe mixture ahead of time and refrigerate it to save time on a busy day.
- Top the stuffed peppers with some fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added flavor and color before serving.
