How to Make Greek Style Stuffed Bell Peppers Light

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1 cup chopped fresh spinach, 1 medium zucchini (diced), 1/2 medium onion (finely chopped), 1/2 cup bulgur, 1 large egg, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  3. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
  4. Cut 4 large bell peppers in half lengthwise; remove seeds and membranes. Arrange pepper halves, cut-side up, in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  5. Fill each pepper half generously with the meat mixture.
  6. Pour 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes evenly over the peppers.
  7. Sprinkle 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese over the peppers and tomatoes.
  8. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  9. Bake for 30 minutes.
  10. Remove foil and bake for another 25-30 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and the peppers are tender. Internal temperature of the meat should reach 160°F (71°C).
