Meatloaf Stuffed Bell Peppers

Hey Loves!


One of the meals I used to hate as a kid was meatloaf, but as I have grown older I have learned to love it! I am always trying to come up with new ways to re-create it and make it better! I also like to, when I can, make things into "mini" forms haha! These mini individual meatloaf's are TO DIE FOR!

Ingredients:
  • 6 Medium bell peppers
  • 1.5 Pounds lean ground turkey
  • 3 Tbsp flat leaf parsley chopped

  • 1 Tsp pepper 
  • 1 Tbsp dried oregano
  • 2 oz Tomato paste
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp Paprika
 Steps:

  3. Remove tops and core bell peppers
  4. Stuff with meatloaf mixture with at least 1/2 inch of room at the top left.
  5. Cook at 400°F for 20 minutes then turn down to 375°F 20-30 more minutes
  6. Remove from oven and let sit for 3 minutes and then enjoy!

This recipe has been in my family for years and every time I have it, it brings me back to so many family memories! I have been really homesick here in San Diego lately so it was nice to make this at our party last weekend and bring me a little closer to home! This is a great make ahead appetizer to save time and be able to entertain and enjoy the party at the same time and did I mention it's GREAT for football parties?! GO NINERS!
