Beef & Bell Pepper Potato Skins
Health Highlights

Ingredients


1 tbsp Ghee
227 gm Beef, ground (ground)
1 tsp Salt and pepper
1 large pepper(s) Yellow bell pepper
1 large pepper(s) Green bell pepper
1 large pepper(s) Red bell pepper
71 gm Pepper jack cheese (Mexican blend cheese is great for this.)
100 gm Avocado
1/4 cup Sour cream, 14% M.F.

Instructions


  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the ghee. When the ghee is hot, add the ground beef and season with pink salt and pepper. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon, breaking up the beef chunks. Continue cooking until the beef is done, 7 to 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, cut the bell peppers to get your “potato skins” ready: Cut off the top of each pepper, slice it in half, and pull out the seeds and ribs. If the pepper is large, you can cut it into quarters; use your best judgment, with the goal of a potato skin−size “boat.”
  4. Place the bell peppers on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Spoon the ground beef into the peppers, sprinkle the cheese on top of each, and bake for 10 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix the avocado and sour cream to create an avocado crema. Mix until smooth.
  7. When the peppers and beef are done baking, divide them between two plates, top each with the avocado crema, and serve.

Notes:

For additional flavor variations, add Mexican-inspired ingredients like diced onion, diced jalapeño or green chiles, chopped fresh cilantro, freshly squeezed lime juice (for the crema), or hot sauce.
