Best 2 Lasagna Pepper Boats Recipes

LASAGNA PEPPER BOATS

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.

Ingredients

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.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

4 bell peppers, various colors
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
½ lb ground beef
½ lb sweet italian sausage
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
28 oz diced tomato, 1 can
28 oz tomato sauce, 1 can
15 oz whole milk ricotta cheese
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
½ cup fresh basil, chopped
1 egg
4 lasagna noodles, cooked and quartered
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons oil

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
Cut the top off of each pepper and remove the seeds. Transfer to a square baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes, to soften.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pot, or dutch oven, over medium high heat. Add the onion and garlic, cook until softened.
Add the ground beef, sausage, salt, and pepper. Cook until the meat has browned on all sides.
Add the diced tomatoes and tomato sauce. Bring the mixture to a light simmer. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine ricotta, parmesan, basil, and egg. Mix together with a fork, set aside.
Remove the peppers from the oven, drain any excess water that accumulated inside.
Cut the lasagna noodles into quarters and set aside.
Assemble the lasagna in each pepper. Alternate 2 tablespoons of sauce, 1 lasagna noodle, 2 tablespoons ricotta mixture, and 1 lasagna noodle until the peppers are full. Top with mozzarella cheese.
Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and slightly browned.
Rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Enjoy!
