Shredded Beef Pepper Boats
Ingredients
4 bell peppers, sliced in half (boats)
4 cups Slow Cooker Shredded Beef (see recipe)
1 onion, sliced
2 cups cheese, shredded (provolone is our favorite)
Olive Oil
Green onions, sliced
Instructions
STEP ONE:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice the peppers in half from top to bottom and clear out the seeds and ribs. Place on a foil lined baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil and salt on top and on the top rack for about 15 minutes. The peppers should be crisp/tender.
STEP TWO:
Over medium heat, sauté onions in a small amount of olive oil in a skillet. Fill each boat with 1/2 cup shredded beef, then sautéed onions and top with cheese.
STEP THREE:
Put pepper boats back in the oven 5-10 minutes. Just long enough for the beef to get hot and the cheese to melt. Add the green onions to the top before serving.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve a side of black beans and brown rice
Or jicama salad
Or homemade potato wedges
Or iceberg lettuce salad with tomatoes, grated carrot & a light ranch dressing
NOTE:
If you don’t have the Slow Cooker Shredded Beef on hand, cook 1.5 lbs organic grass-fed ground beef with the following:
2 Tbls Braggs Amino Acid, 1/2 onion chopped fine, 1/2 jalepeno chopped fine, 2 cloves garlic minced, 1 Tbls. ginger minced. Once cooked together, remove from the heat and stir in 1/4 cup cilantro and squeeze 1/4 - 1/2 lime.
