    I decided think shake up my traditional stuffed green peppers and create a low carb Italian Stuffed Green Pepper version. My husband LOVED them!

    This is a great recipe to freezer cook.  I like to prepare them but not bake them and freeze them.  I normally make a double batch and we eat them for dinner and I freeze a batch.  A great money saving tip is that you can freeze cottage cheese too! Be sure to check it out.

    My garden is still swimming in green peppers! The flavor combination was amazing! It is nice low carb recipe too! Be sure to give this tasty recipe a try! You will be happy you did!

    A kitchen tip is to use a muffin tin when you bake the Italian Stuffed Green Peppers. It is a great way to keep them standing upright so they don't topple over and spill.

    Be sure to give this Italian Stuffed Green Peppers recipe a try. It is a great twist on the classic and has a great flavor profile. It is like spaghetti without all of the carbs.  A delicious lean and green meal idea and perfect for summer.

      Seems like this should say COOKED rice, right?

        I have a TON of stuffing left, do you have any suggestions as to what to do with it? I thought of cooking it in the muffin tins, but I'm worried that the rice wouldn't have enough time to soften.
