Kenna's Stuffed Bell Peppers (low cal)

A good friend of mine gave me this recipe, and this is the healthier version of it. I can't wait to try it.

Ingredients
  • 2 green bell peppers that can stand up on their own
  • 1 can of tuna
  • low fat cheese, such as mozzarella
  • 1 small Roma tomato, diced
Tools

  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Pot
  • Baking sheet
  • Bowl
  • Spoon (to hollow out pepper)
Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 400°
  2. Cut the top off of the bell peppers. Hollow out the center and throw away the seeds and pith (squishy stuff that the seeds are attached to).
  3. Put a pot of water on the stove, heat to a medium boil. Put in the peppers and boil them for 2-3. (They should not be mushy) Let cool.
  4. Open can of tuna and drain. Toss into a small bowl and mix with diced tomato.
  5. Fill the cooled peppers with the tomato/tuna mixture and put a slice of cheese on top as a lid.
  6. Place peppers on baking sheet and bake at 400° for 5-10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Cool and eat.
