Gut-Healthy Stuffed Bell Peppers with Hamburger and Mushrooms


Ingredients:


1 lb lean ground beef (preferably grass-fed)

4 large bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)

1 cup diced mushrooms

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice

1 cup chopped spinach or kale

1/2 cup tomato sauce

1/2 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tbsp olive oil

1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)


Preheat your oven to 375Ā°F (190Ā°C).


Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside.


In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, and cook for 3-4 minutes until they become soft and fragrant.


Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until it is browned and cooked through.


Add the diced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until they release their moisture and soften.


Stir in the cooked quinoa or brown rice, chopped spinach or kale, tomato sauce, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.


Stuff each bell pepper evenly with the beef and mushroom mixture, and place them in a baking dish.


Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.


If using cheese, remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of each stuffed pepper, and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.


Remove the stuffed peppers from the oven, and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.


This recipe is gut-healthy for several reasons:

  1. High-fiber ingredients: Bell peppers, mushrooms, spinach or kale, and quinoa or brown rice are all rich in dietary fiber. Fiber is essential for maintaining a healthy digestive system, as it helps to regulate bowel movements, support healthy gut bacteria, and improve overall gut health.

  2. Lean protein: Using lean ground beef, especially if it's grass-fed, provides a good source of protein without excessive saturated fat. Protein is necessary for the growth and repair of tissues, and it also contributes to the feeling of fullness, which can prevent overeating.

  3. Phytonutrients and antioxidants: The bell peppers, spinach or kale, and garlic contain various phytonutrients and antioxidants that support gut health by reducing inflammation and promoting overall digestive health. These components also contribute to a healthy immune system and may help prevent various chronic diseases.

  4. Low in processed ingredients: This recipe uses mostly whole, unprocessed ingredients, which are generally better for gut health than heavily processed foods. Processed foods can contain additives and preservatives that may disrupt the balance of gut bacteria and contribute to inflammation.

  5. Healthy fats: Olive oil, a source of monounsaturated fats, has anti-inflammatory properties and may help maintain a healthy balance of gut bacteria.

By incorporating nutrient-dense, fiber-rich, and minimally processed ingredients, this stuffed bell pepper recipe promotes gut health and supports a well-functioning digestive system.
