We ventured up to Lake Tahoe for the week and the cold weather has us craving some warm meals. These ground beef and riced cauliflower bell peppers were the perfect Mix of vegetables and protein. Topped with some melted mozzarella these were enjoyed by the whole family.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 DegF
- Cut top from each Bell Pepper (stem-side) and then remove and discard all seeds. Add cut-side-up to a 8" square baking dish and add to hot oven. Allow to bake for 25 minutes or until soft.
- Chop Onion, Mince Garlic & Rice Cauliflower. Over medium-high heat heat coconut or avocado oil and allow to melt. Add prepared ingredients and cook until they begin to soften.
