GREEK-STYLE STUFFED BELL PEPPERS WITH QUINOA
This a Greek take on the classic beef stuffed pepper. Lemon, cinnamon, fennel and oregano spice up traditional ground beef and onions, while healthy quinoa adds extra fiber. There seem to be a lot of steps, but this one goes together in about 20 minutes. It works great if you have pre-browned ground beef in your freezer.

GREEK-INSPIRED STUFFED PEPPERS
Ground lamb is the main component for these Greek-inspired stuffed peppers. Add some rice and some traditional Greek flavors like onion, garlic, and fresh herbs to the bell pepper "boats". Garnish with feta cheese crumbles, chopped tomatoes, and tzatziki for a colorful and delicious main course. We like this with buttery new potatoes with leeks and parsley, and a green vegetable or salad. Add a hearty bread, if you aren't counting carbs!

STUFFED BELL PEPPERS FROM COOKING LIGHT
This is our favorite recipe for stuffed peppers. I like to use red or yellow peppers. The kids don't eat the peppers, but they do love the filling. This recipe doesn't make quite enough, so I always double it. The leftovers reheat wonderfully. You can also make the filling and freeze it for a later date. When you pull it out of the freezer and thaw, you'll only have to prepare the peppers, stuff them and bake.
