Stuffed Peppers in Crock Pot

Ingredients

  • 4 medium green bell peppers (or use multicolored)
  • 1 pound ground beef (lean)
  • 1/4 cup onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 1/2 cups rice (cooked)
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt ​(or a Creole seasoning blend)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (32-ounce) jar spaghetti sauce (or marinara sauce)

Steps to Make It

  1. Gather the ingredients.
  2. In a bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, cooked rice, and seasonings until well blended.
  3. Cut the tops off of the peppers and remove the seeds and fibers.
  4. Stuff the peppers with equal portions of the ground beef and rice mixture.
  5. Place the stuffed peppers in a crockpot; cover with the spaghetti sauce.
  6. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours. Or until the ground beef is thoroughly cooked and the peppers are tender.
  7. To check for doneness, insert an instant-read food thermometer into the center of the filling. It should read at least 160 F (71 C) or 165 F (74 C) for ground turkey.
  8. Serve and enjoy!

Tip

  • Since the ground beef is not browned ahead of time, use a lean ratio of ground beef in this recipe.

Recipe Variations

  • Substitute 1 cup of uncooked white or brown Minute Rice for the cooked rice.
  • Instead of ground beef, use ground turkey in the filling.
  • Substitute a 14.5 -ounce can of diced tomatoes and a 10 3/4-ounce can of condensed tomato soup for the spaghetti sauce. Combine the two in a bowl and pour over the peppers.
  • Chop the tops of the peppers finely and add them to the filling or to the sauce mixture.
  • Instead of plain white rice, add cooked Mexican or Spanish rice to the beef mixture. Use Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice or Rice-a-Roni brand.
  • For Tex-Mex or Mexican flavors, substitute two 14.5-ounce cans of chili-style or Mexican style tomatoes for the spaghetti sauce.

Keto Salmon Fish Cakes Recipe with Creamy Dill Sauce/Recipe Share

Louise Hendon | April 16

Keto Salmon Fish Cakes Recipe with Creamy Dill Sauce #keto https://ketosummit.com/keto-salmon-fish-cakes-creamy-dill-sauce

There’s nothing fishy about these keto salmon fish cakes recipe – they’re delicious. The creamy dill sauce is the perfect complement to this easy ketogenic fish cakes dish.

Modifications for a Keto Diet

Generally salmon cakes will contain bread or breadcrumbs. Tasty, but off-limits. Instead, I included coconut flour and shredded coconut.

Coconut flour and shredded coconut help bind the cakes together, along with eggs.

The dill sauce didn’t really need much in the way of modifications, although this version uses coconut milk where a lot of others use sour cream.

Health Benefits of Salmon

As you probably know, fish in general and salmon in particular are really good for you. Probably at the top of the list are their omega-3 fatty acids.

Omega-3 fatty acids decrease inflammation, reduce cancer risk and improve artery health. If you’re concerned about heart health, increasing your intake of omega-3s is probably a smart move.

In addition, omega-3s are good for your joints, your brain and your vision. Basically, there are a lot of good things going for it.

Salmon is also a great source of vitamin B12, vitamin D, vitamin B3 and selenium.

As you’d probably guess, salmon also provides a good amount of protein. A serving using this keto salmon fish cakes with creamy dill sauce will get you 42 grams.

Protein assists with healing and recovery, bone health and prevents muscle loss. That last one becomes even more important as you age.

Power up your mind and body and enjoy a healthy meal with this keto salmon fish cakes recipe with creamy dill sauce! In case you are just looking for a non-keto version, here’s one for you.

Chicken Green Onion Balls/Recipe Share

Chicken-Bacon-Bites-800x600

Ingredients:
¼ lb (115 g) bacon (about 2 – 3 thick cut slices)
1 lb (454 g) ground chicken
½ cup (35 g) chopped green onion
1 tsp (2 g) ground sage
½ tsp garlic powder
MIX: Roughly chop the bacon slices and put them in the food processor. Process until the bacon resembles ground meat, but not so long that the bacon becomes a paste. Add the ground chicken, green onion, sage and garlic powder to the food processor. There should be plenty of salt in the mixture already, thanks to the bacon! Pulse until the meat mixture is just combined and you can see that the green onions are evenly distributed throughout.
SHAPE: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Use a 2 tablespoon (30 ml) scoop to measure out 16 equal-size portions of the meat mixture and drop them onto the lined baking tray. Use your hands to roll each portion into a round mini meatball shape.
BAKE: Cook the burger bites for 20 minutes and rest them for 5 minutes on the baking tray before serving. These are great paired with either BBQ Sauce  or Creamy Green Onion Dressing
