About
Instead of filling your stuffed peppers with a loose, messy filling, pack your peppers with dense and savory meatloaf! This meatloaf is made with ground pork and seasoned with classic meatloaf spices and even includes a little tomato ketchup! At your discretion, you could upgrade your stuffed pepper with a layer of melted cheese.
Ingredients
- 8 ounce ground pork
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper, ground
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg ground
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic, powder
- ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper by simply organic
- ⅛ teaspoon celery seed
- 1 tablespoon, shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon ketchup
- 10 ounce green bell pepper
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 400 degrees. In a bowl, use your hand to mix together the ground pork with all the ingredients except for the bell peppers.
- Prepare green bell peppers that are 5-oz each by slicing off the tops and removing the seeds. Arrange this face up in a glass baking dish.
- Stuff each pepper with the ground pork. Use either a long toothpick or skewer to poke 4-5 holes into the meat to help the centers cook.
- Wrap a piece of foil over the baking dish. Bake the dish for 60 minutes. If there is a lot of excess fat after removing the foil, use this little trick to drain the grease away: use a toothpick to poke a hole through the base of each bell pepper and let the grease drain from the pork into the dish.
