Beef Stuffed Capsicums
Are you looking to satisfy your taste buds? this is a favourite of ours on a Saturday night.

- 1 capsicum (any colour)
- 100 grams of lean beef mince
- 1/2 cans of low sodium chopped tomatoes, no sugar added
- ¼ red onion
- 2-3 chopped mushrooms
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 Tbsp. veggie or beef stock
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees
- Slice the tops off your capsicum and remove the cores. Keep the top
- Place your capsicum halves in a baking dish (preferably one with a lid – but don’t panic if you don’t have one). Make sure the dish is small enough to fit them snugly so they sit upright
- Pour 1/2 cans of tomatoes into the bottom of the tray so your capsicum have some moisture to bake in.
- Dice the top of the capsicum up, and the onion and mushrooms.
- Put your veggies in a pan with the olive oil and sauté until they are nice and soft.
- Put your veggies into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
- Using the same pan you cooked your veggies in, cook your mince in the stock
- Add your onion and garlic powder
- In the last 3-5 minutes of cooking, return your veggies to the pan. Mix well.
- Return the entire mixture to the mixing bowl. Add your tomato sauce. Stir well.
- Fill your capsicum with the meat mixture.
- Cover with a lid, or aluminium foil. Bake for approx. 1 hour serve with some sauce poured on top
