It is one of my husband’s favorite dinners. I don’t make it too often because I’m usually experimenting with other blog recipes, but it is always a nice treat. And so are these Mini Meatloaf Pepper Rings!
They are a super easy supper to make! Even though my kiddos aren’t big on the peppers, they sure do dig any type of meatball-related dinner. This idea actually came from Sunny Anderson on Food Network several years ago. I thought it was so cool how she got so creative with bell peppers.
Now, I like to use a lean ground beef for this dish to minimize how much the meat will shrink down in the peppers. Plus it keeps it a healthier meal . I served it with a little green salad, skipped out on the carbs, and felt really good about my dinner.
Mini Meatloaf Pepper Rings
Recipe type: Main Dish
INGREDIENTS
4 large bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange)
2 lbs. lean ground beef
1½ tsp creole seasoning
¼ cup Italian bread crumbs
1 egg
¼ cup shredded Parmesan
A pinch crushed red pepper flakes
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend
1 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes
INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare peppers by slicing off a little of the top and bottom of each pepper. Do not discard these. Cut out ribs and seeds. Slice into 3 thick rings and place on a sheet pan lined with parchment for easy clean up. Dice up remaining parts of peppers to use in meat mixture.
Prepare meatloaf mix: Mix ground beef with seasoning, bread crumbs, egg, Parmesan, red pepper flakes, garlic, and remaining diced peppers until combined.
