Shaved Beef Stuffed Red Peppers

I remember my mom making Italian Stuffed Peppers as a kid. Peppers were always in my top 2 favorite vegetables along with tomatoes! I know, I was such a weird child. I have made my daughter just as weird as me because shoe loves tomatoes and peppers. I have peppers growing in the backyard and no matter how much I ask he not to, my daughter will pick them off the vine and take a big bite. She continues to do it even after taking a bite out a Jalapeño the other day. Although, she didn’t spit it out and just said spicy with a smile and tears in her eyes. She’s way to cute.

 

These stuffed peppers are a fun colorful and healthier way to serve burger meat. Here is my easy stuffed pepper recipe that you can make for your family without a ton of prep or work!

1 lb. Shaved Beef, cooked
2 tbsp. Soy Sauce
