Crab-stuffed Bell Peppers
Doesn't a picture speak more than a thousand words? I mean, I don't think I am a fantastic photographer, but man, doesn't this look good? Well, guess what? It is! Yay! I got this recipe when I was first starting out on my weightloss journey through jillianmichaels.com. It is originally a crab-stuffed zucchini recipe, but when I first made it, I did not have zucchinis, so I used sweet bell peppers. We love it so much, that I have never tried them with the zucchini! I don't make it often enough, even though it is SO EASY. I guess that is enough jabbering now, I will share this FANTASTIC recipe with you. Really, it is THAT good.
Crab (or chicken) stuffed Sweet Bell Pepper
yield: 2 servings
2 good sized bell peppers (any color, but I think that green actually tastes better in this instance)
6 1/2 ounces canned crabmeat (or chicken) drained
1 ounce of cream cheese, fat free, softened (I know you are thinking, cheese, isn't she lactose-intolerant? I am, but cheese doesnt' bother me)
1/2 medium tomato, seeded and chopped
1/2-whole lemon's juice
1 tbs light mayo (or fat free yogurt)
1 c mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 tbs homemade taco seasoning.
Directions:
1)Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut off the top of 2 bell peppers and de-seed them.
2) Mix ingredients from crabmeat to taco seasoning, only using 1/2 cup of the mozzarella.
3. Place bell peppers in a baking dish coated with cooking spray and fill with crabmeat mixture. Top with rest of the mozzarella and bake for 20-30 minutes until the mozzarella is lightly browned.
296 calories per suffed pepper. YUM!
