Here's one of my favorite recipes from the cooking-for-one class. I have it for dinner all the time now:
ReplyDeletePEPPERS AND BACON
1 bell pepper (red, yellow, or orange)
2 slices turkey bacon
1/2 cup shredded reduced fat cheddar
chopped scallions to taste
Dab of reduced fat sour cream
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Cut pepper in Quarters. Remove stems and seeds.
Place pepper slices on a shallow pan lined with foil, insides up. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, until slices are soft.
Meanwhile, cook bacon on both sides until crispy (I do it in the microwave). Let cool, then chop into small pieces.
Once pepper slices are done, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Don't turn off the over. Blot away any excess liquid from peppers.
Sprinkle pepper slices evenly with shredded cheese, scallions, and chopped bacon. Return to the oven and bake until cheese has melted 5-10 minutes. Serve with sour cream.
