Lasagna Pepper Boats image

Always looking for low-carb recipes, I was making my family lasagna and got the idea to make my lasagna in a 'green pepper boat' instead of using noodles. This tastes great even to people who love carbs! Freezes well too. If I make a smaller batch, I will freeze the leftover sauce for the next time.

Time 1h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 green bell peppers, halved and seeded
salt to taste
water as needed
1 pound ground beef
3 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon dried oregano
ground black pepper to taste
1 (12 ounce) container cottage cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Arrange bell peppers, cut-side up, in a 10x15-inch baking dish; season with salt. Pour enough water into dish to make 1/4-inch depth.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, 1 teaspoon salt, oregano, and black pepper to ground beef; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until flavors blend, about 15 minutes.
  • Fill each bell pepper with a heaping tablespoon cottage cheese; top with a layer of mozzarella cheese, a layer of Cheddar cheese, and meat sauce. Sprinkle each 'boat' with more mozzarella cheese and Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until peppers are tender and cheeses are melted, 50 to 65 minutes.

I'm not a huge fan of peppers, but these lasagna pepper boats were actually really good! The filling was flavorful and cheesy, and the peppers were cooked perfectly. I would definitely make these again.
