| Does Lil' Tony eat any animal products? If so, how about using ground turkey instead of beef? Or soy crumbles (I use Morningstar version and as long as it's in something like a casserole, it's fine). I believe I've also seen a WW recipe using lentils as stuffing. Search "stuffed peppers" lentils on Google and I bet you'll find the recipe.
Put stuffed peppers in quote marks followed with lentils in the Google search box. Google will search for stuffed peppers as the exact phrase. Your search tip for today! |
| Nope...no animal products, with the exception of eggs. |
| here is one....
although, what i would do...is follow your normal recipe ..instead of using ground beef, buy some veggie burgers and break them up into the mixture instead....i think it would have as close as a texture as possible Tofu and Rice Stuffed Peppers SUBMITTED BY: N1COLE PHOTO BY: jgage82 "Italian style stuffed bell peppers for the vegetarian (can easily be prepared vegan). Even my meat-eating husband loved these."

| Too late for today's dinner, but, I use fresh mushrooms- ground coarsely- instead of hamburger. They have texture, and will not "cook up". I use them in most pasta dishes and find we don't miss the meat. I have a low carb lasagna recipe that is really good, using mushrooms. |
