Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2 large green peppers 1 cup of soy "meat" crumbles or ground beef 1 small squash, chopped 1/4 onion sliced 2 tblsp of bbq sauce salt, pepper and garlic powder 2 tblsp of olive oil 1/2 cup of sh

1. Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Then grease a high sided ceramic baking dish.

2. Slice the bell peppers in half and seed them. Place them in the dish and set them aside.

3. Put one tblsp of olive oil in a pan and add in the onion. Saute them over medium heat until soft. Add the squash for about 2 minutes. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place this mixture in a medium bowl.

4. Then add the rest of the oil to the pan and add in the frozen soy crumbles, heating them until thawed. If you use beef instead just cook until brown.

5. Add the ground "meat" or real meat to the squash and onion mixture. Stir it together with the bbq sauce.

6. Add this to the peppers and top each with cheese. I used a mix of provolone and mozzarella, but I think cheddar would be fine too. Bake the peppers for about 25 minutes - until the cheese began to brown. Enjoy!
