I love stuffed peppers, but I'm not a fan of tomato sauce on them so here is my version: simple, seasoned, delicious. Perfect dish to make ahead for lunch. Also freezes well.

Steps

20 mins

1

Preheat oven to 350
2

Chop onion and mushrooms ahead of time. Heat large pan with oil on med to med high. Add onion, then muchrooms. Sauteed for about 7 min.
3

Add meat. Cook until meat is done, season well with pepper and salt of your choice. I put 2 pounds of meat for the meat lovers, but 1 to 1.5 will do. Don't get skimpy on this part.
4

Cook the quinoa according to the directions. Use broth instead of water as there is so much more flavor this way.
5

If the meat mixture is done, turn off the heat until you add the quinoa.
6

Mix everything together then stuff the peppers. Add cheese to the meat mixture too.
7

Bake for 45 min covered. This will soften the peppers as they cook. Cook uncovered for additional 15 after you've topped them with cheese.

Viola!
