Healthy and Hearty!



I just got my delivery of grass-fed beef. We got approx. 1/4 of a cow!! Oh my!! Our freezer is full, and the possibilities are limitless!
Here is a recipe for stuffed veggies! Green peppers and Zucchini! Perfect for another chilly day!

1 zucchini
1 squash
2 green peppers
I used what I had, but red peppers, onions, and other veggies work great!

For the stuffing:
3 cup of cooked rice ( i used black and brown rice, and cooked it in chicken broth)
1 lb of ground beef
2 onions
1-3 cloves of garlic
2 cans of diced tomatoes
Shredded cheddar cheese
Zucchini and squash filling
Chipotle, cumin and coriander seasoning
Salt and pepper to your taste

Cut your zucchini and squash in halves, and remove the flesh with a lemon baller. Cut the peppers' top and remove seeds. Set aside. Sauté onions, beef, garlic, zucchini and squash. Season. When brown, add tomatoes and cook for a couple of minutes. Once everything is cooked, add the rice and some cheddar cheese.

Fill the vegetable with the rice mixture and cook for 40 minutes on 375. Once the shells are cooked, add some cheese on top with a little cilantro.
Enjoy!
