SLOPPY JOE STUFFED PEPPERS

Hey guys!

So here at Tuesdays with Dinah & Ma we have tried our fair share of different ways to whip up sloppy joes. We've done enchiliada sloppy joes as well as the ever famous all around sloppy joe. I
thought we were closing that chapter and then a recipe popped up on my Pinterest that I just couldn't pass up. Now no sighing this is my personal fave of the ones we have tried and it doesn't
have any bread of any kind. NOPE. No buns, tortilla's, or even crackers. Stick around this recipe is gooey, yummy, and on the healthy side. Can't be done? Pish Posh!


Here's what you'll need:



SLOPPY JOE STUFFED PEPPERS

Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1 ounce onion, chopped, about 2 tablespoons
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 teaspoon granular Splenda
1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
3 green peppers, halved lengthwise


Directions:
Brown the ground beef, onion, celery and garlic; drain the fat. Stir in all of the remaining ingredients except the cheese and green peppers. Simmer 10 minutes. Meanwhile, parboil the peppers in
a little boiling water 3 minutes; drain. Place the peppers in a baking dish. Stir half of the cheese into the hamburger mixture; fill the peppers with the meat. Top with the remaining cheese. Bake
at 350º 15-20 minutes until hot and bubbly and the peppers are tender.
Makes 6 servings

WW Points: *8 per serving



These (as I mentioned above) are my fave of the many sloppy joe recipes we've tried. The pepper is tender and mixed with the sloppy joe center it's amazing!



Tid Bits:
*Not a fan of ground beef? Try ground turkey, chicken, or soy crumbles.
*If you like your peppers on the more tender side just adjust the boil time.




Ma's Spot: OMG these were fabulous. I love stuffed peppers and I love sloppy joes so putting these together is a win win. There's nothing about this recipe that I would change. Except I would put
different cheese cause as you all know I am not a fan of cheese. So if you're looking for a different version of stuffed peppers this is the one for you.





SNACK CORNER:* It's time for snack corner! Where we take new snacks in the grocery store and break it down for you. We tell you which are hot and which are not.
Let's get to this week's pick:

WW Points: *3 Points per package



Dinah: I'm sitting this one out since these treats were made with traces of peanuts. An as we all know blog mistress + peanuts = not good times



Ma: Blog readers we bring you the latest from Brookside Chocolates. I'm sorry Dinah couldn't try these. I have been dying to try these. The wait was worth it. Who doesn't love fruit dipped in
chocolate. All of the berries I tried tonight were covered in dark chocolate. Usually I'm not a big fan of dark chocolate but when it's paired with fruit oh baby look out! These are delicious and I
will buy each kind again. I knew I would love the blueberry and goji berries. I was a little heasitant about the pomegrante though. Turns out those were tasty as well. Who knew?





That's it for tonight, no sad faces we'll be back next Tuesday with Ma's pick and it's not one to miss. Have a great week guys!
