Giraffe's Saucy Low-Carb Italian Stuffed Peppers


We love dining on our fresh Bell Peppers, stuffed with Grandma Giraffe's Old World Spaghetti Sauce.  Mmmmmmmmm!  

Our crispy and juicy peppers, moistened with our hearty tomato sauce makes for an enjoyable and comforting dinner, especially on cold winter nights.

We thoroughly enjoy the aroma of our Italian Stuffed Peppers baking and delightfully permeating our apartment.  

Preparation time was a mere 10 minutes, while baking time another 40 minutes.

This week's ingredients include:





We'll begin by preheating our oven to 400F degrees and will spray our baking dish with our cooking spray.




Next, we'll slice the tops of our Green Peppers, and will scrape out and discard their insides.



We'll then, rinse out our peppers to ensure they are clean for stuffing and will place in our pan.



We'll bake our peppers, by themselves, for 20 minutes, to initially soften them, before adding our remaining ingredients.



Next, we'll remove our peppers from the oven and will pour 1/4th cup of our Spaghetti Sauce into each pepper.




We'll then, place 2 Tbsp. of Ricotta Cheese into each pepper, followed by another 1/4th cup of Spaghetti Sauce on top of our cheese.







Next, we'll take a large pinch of our shredded Mozzarella Cheese and will sprinkle on top of our Spaghetti Sauce.


We'll finally, return our stuffed peppers to our oven, to bake for about 12 minutes.



After our cheese has melted, we'll remove our peppers from our oven and will sprinkle 1 Tbsp. of Parmesan Cheese over each pepper.





We'll then, sprinkle another round of Mozzarella Cheese over each pepper.


Next, we'll sprinkle our Oregano over our cheese.




We're then, going to return our peppers to our oven, one more time, for 5 minutes,  allowing our cheese just enough time to melt.



We'll again, remove our peppers from our oven and will allow them to slightly cool.



We'll then, reheat our Spaghetti Sauce and will place our remaining 1/4th cup over the top of each pepper.


Voila!!!! 

Our Stuffed Saucy Low-Carb Italian Stuffed Peppers are ready to be devoured!  😋

Our Green Peppers are soft, but yet crisp and juicy.  The three cheeses, along with the homemade Spaghetti Sauce makes our Stuffed Peppers taste similar to Lasagna Stuffed Peppers.  

Who needs noodles or rice inside our peppers when they exude flavor?


We hope you enjoy our Stuffed Peppers as much as we do.  

From our kitchen to yours ~


Enjoy!!
