Ingredients

  • 3 Bell Peppers cut in half; seeds removed
  • 1 Tbls Butter
  • 8 oz Mushrooms sliced baby bella
  • 1 Yellow Onion thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 Tbls Worcestershire Sauce divided
  • 1 Tbls Avocado Oil
  • 1 lb Ground Beef
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 cup Shredded White Cheddar Cheese

Instructions

  • Place the halved and seeded bell peppers in a baking dish; spray them lightly with avocado oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper
    Place them in the oven and broil on high for about 7-10 minutes; keep an eye on them so they don't burn - it is just to soften them and get a little caramelization on the edges
    Take out of the oven and set aside
  • Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat
    Add in the thinly sliced onions and mushrooms - sauté for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally - they should soften and start to caramelize
    Add in the minced garlic and 1 Tbls of the Worcestershire sauce - sauté another 3 minutes
    Remove from pan, season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside
  • Add in the avocado oil and turn heat to medium/high
    Add in the ground beef with the salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder
    Sauté until completely browned and cooked through (about 5 minutes) then stir in the onion/mushroom mixture and the remaining Worcestershire sauce
    Cook another 2-3 minutes and remove from heat
  • Fill the peppers with the equal amounts (about 1/2 cup) of mixture and then top with the shredded cheese
    Place back under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese (be careful not to burn)
    Serve with optional Spicy Garlic Aioli and enjoy!

Notes

The best way to clean mushrooms is with a damp paper towel so they don't absorb too much water before cooking
