Sweet Peppers Stuffed with Ground Beef and Zucchini
Stuffed peppers are a great way to get creative with ground meat and vegetables you may have on-hand. If you don't have zucchini, you could substitute eggplant, squash, or mushrooms - whatever you like. You can also make these a few days ahead, store in the refrigerator, and add the breadcrumbs right before baking. You can enjoy these stuffed peppers solo for a nice light lunch or appetizer. Or serve them with salad, rice, or some additional filling to make a heartier meal. You can also use ground pork, ground chicken, ground lamb, ground bison or ground turkey instead of beef.
