Meatball Stuffed Peppers Easy Recipe

Can we have a minute to give some praise to quick and easy dinner recipes? And by quick I mean 15 minutes of simple prep before you slide these stuffed peppers into your oven, tidy your kitchen, then pour yourself a glass of wine and relax. This recipe is so simple because the sauce pretty much makes itself and giant meatballs mean that you’re not fussing over rolling tons of tiny ones. It’s really easy. I like to fill a big plate bowl with spinach or baby kale and put the meatball stuffed peppers on top. When I pour the cherry tomato sauce over the top it wilts the greens and they become one with dinner.

Why make paleo meatballs?

While I’m not one to turn down a butter-slathered slice of warm bread, I do try to avoid eating grains as much as possible. I feel much better when I eat grain-free. So when I cook for my family, I always opt for paleo alternatives in recipes. To make tender, Swedish-style meatballs, I use almond flour instead of the traditional breadcrumbs. It’s a healthy alternative and I promise you that you won’t be able to tell the difference. But if you stock breadcrumbs in your pantry, you can always use those instead. I’ve made this stuffed peppers recipe a few times since the idea was delivered to my mailbox. In the last issue (and very sadly the last English version they will publish) Ricardo Magazine had a recipe for veal stuffed peppers with a cherry tomato sauce. They made their sauce on the stovetop and used grain-based ingredients in their meatballs. But I loved the idea and wanted to make it easier to make and use easier to find ingredients. (IE: ground beef and pork instead of ground veal.) This version is so simple to prep since the cherry tomatoes create their own sauce as they cook and their liquid is released.
