Ingredients

  • 2 bell peppers

Once transparent (usually means the onion is cooked), add in approximately 6oz of ground beef or turkey. For estimating purposes: 6 ounces is approximately the size of an average fist. Once your meat is cooked, quickly sauté in â€‹1-2 cups chopped mustard green, then remove pan from heat. 

    2. In a separate bowl: Combine 1.5 cups cooked rice, 1 cup chopped okra, 1 tsp oregano, 1 tsp thyme, 1 tsp basil, 1 diced tomato (canned or fresh). Add in your cooked meat mixture. Mix all together

  4. Stuff the peppers: Fill each half of the pre-oiled peppers with the mixture and place face up on a baking sheet. â€‹

  6. Bake: @ 350 for 25 mins--or until the tops are crispy, the pepper has softened, and the inside is warm

  7. Garnish with parsley and
