Bell Pepper Meatball Sandwich
Are you tired of regular sandwiches? Well, I have a totally satisfying low-carb recipe for you to try.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
- 1 egg
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided
- 1 jar marinara
- 4 bell peppers cored and halved
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine beef, breadcrumbs, parsley, parmesan, egg, garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes. Mix until just combined and form into 16 balls.
-
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon oil. Add meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until seared on all sides, about 10 minutes. Add marinara sauce to skillet and toss to combine. Cover skillet with a lid and simmer until meatballs have cooked through completely, about 10 minutes more.
-
Place bell peppers cut-side-up on a large rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Top 4 halves with mozzarella slices. Bake until cheese has melted and bell peppers are just warmed through.
-
Add meatballs on top of the bell pepper halves with cheese and sprinkle with more parmesan, if using. Place remaining bell halves on top and serve.
