Ingredients

  • 4 large green bell peppers
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa cooled
  • 4 slices Canadian bacon chopped
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1/4 cup whole milk mozzarella pearls
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onion
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F
  • Cut the top off of each pepper to make it's hat You can see I cut one of them too shallow, you should cut about 1/2 inch down to keep the stem in tact. Using a knife, cut out the middle of each pepper and discard with the seeds. Set the peppers and hats aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix together quinoa, Canadian bacon, marinara sauce, mozzarella pearls, green onion, and grated parmesan.
  • Fill each pepper with the quinoa mixture. Sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella and place the tops back on. Put the four peppers into a small square baking dish and cover with foil. Cook for 45 minutes covered, and then another 10 uncovered.
  • Enjoy!
