Stuffed Bell Peppers

The following recipe is a low-carb alternative to pasta dishes.  With the traditional combo of ground meat, veggies and spaghetti sauce, you probably won't even miss the pasta.

Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey or beef
1/4 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 red or green bell peppers
1 jar spaghetti sauce
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup shredded cheese

Directions:
1.  Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Cook the ground meat, onion and garlic in a large pan until the meat is cooked through.  Drain the mixture in a colander to remove the extra grease. 
2.  Return the meat mixture to the pan and stir in the spaghetti sauce.  You might not need the entire jar- start with half the jar and add more until all the meat has absorbed some of the sauce.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3.  Cut the stems off the peppers, and remove the seeds and white bits.  Place the peppers in a glass casserole pan and fill them with meat mixture.
4.  Bake at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until the peppers become tender.  Remove from the oven and top with shredded cheese.  Use a spatula to remove the peppers and serve.
