I've shared Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers, which are amazing, but nothing beats a classic recipe. These peppers are tried and true, simple and quick.
Over on Instagram I like to share my PFC meals, and with this recipe you've got a great P (protein) - beef, F (fat) - with the cheese, and healthy C (carbs) with rice and peppers. PFC is the blueprint I show you in the Strong Mom Bod Method for fat loss and muscle gain. It's been the roadmap for my own weight journey I've used through every postpartum phase and maintaining for the long run.
For the little ones in your home it could be easier to turn this into a casserole by dicing up the peppers, mixing them into the meat and baking. A big pepper can be hard for the kids to handle.
Give these a try - share the recipe - tag me in any of your social posts @simplymadecoaching
