This is a fairly time consuming process, but is a delicious entree for special events. For an in-depth and classic recipe check out The New York Times website recipe “Original Chicken Cordon Bleu”.

Mexican Stuffed Peppers

March 17, 2018 by easyhealth living

Mexican stuffed peppers are quite possibly the easiest meal EVER! 3 ingredients and one of them is chili from a fast food restaurant?? So yeah, it’s pretty easy. Not to mention its a lower carb recipe, so no guilt either. The chili contains beans which are a good source of fiber and helps to maintain good blood glucose control. These Mexican stuffed peppers could be served with a side salad or would be a great recipe to make for a snack or a party.

Step 1 : Get a bag of multicolored mini peppers, clean and cut in half. Step 2: Fill peppers with chili and sprinkle with cheese. Step 3: Bake until peppers are tender and chili is warm and bubbly. Step 4: Devour!

Low Carb Steak Taco Bowl

December 16, 2017 by easyhealth living

Low Carb Steak Taco Bowl uses leftover meat and veggies you probably already have on hand. Cook this recipe in a large skillet for a one pot meal! This steak taco recipe is super flexible as you can use any leftover beef or steak. You can also use ground beef here, but I find the steak strips make for a more satisfying meal since they are heartier. This recipe is just like fajitas except the cheese is added to the dish and served as is, rather than in a taco shell. You could serve this in low carb tortillas, though, for a great family friendly meal.

There are also recipes for low carb tortillas using cheese– I’ve never made these, but that would work great with this recipe! Here is a link to a low carb taco shell that uses pork rinds– it has great ratings too! Another option is to stuff the taco bowl mixture into bell peppers. Bell peppers make great “edible bowls” for low carb fillings- check out my low carb philly cheesesteak stuffed peppers which cooks in one pot on top of the stove- very easy.

Low Carb Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers

October 16, 2017 by easyhealth living

Oops I did it again. Apparently the philly cheesesteak obsession is here to stay… In that case, let’s check out the latest low carb stuffed pepper recipe!!! The bell peppers make the perfect low carb edible bowl for the beefy, cheesy filling. I also discovered a way to cook the peppers so you can make this in one pan on the stovetop. I have used 2 types of cheese -queso melting cheese along with the traditional provolone cheese. Below I have step by step pics to show you exactly how to make low carb philly cheesesteak stuffed peppers!

Feel free to use any type of steak you prefer. Here I have thinly sliced minute steak to which I’ll add worcestershire sauce. The steak will be cooked to a delicious golden brown.

Here are the bell peppers atop a bed of sliced onions. These will be covered to help soften the peppers without having to bake them in the oven.

Once the peppers cook and steam, they will start to brown and soften. This will make them tender and easier to eat.

The onions are mixed with the cooked steak before being stuffed into the bell peppers.

Place 1/2 slice provolone into the bottom of each pepper half…

Then stuff the peppers with filling and add more cheese on top. Place under the broiled to melt cheese or simply cover the pan and allow cheese to melt.

So there you have it… Stuffed peppers with philly cheesesteak!! Looking for more philly cheesesteak stuffed pepper recipes? Check out the following awesome blogs for more ideas:
