Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 bell peppers (seeded and chopped ( I used red, orange and yellow for extra color))
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 large yellow onion (peeled and chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (chopped)
  • 1 24- oz can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 2 tablespoons dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried cayenne pepper
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Instruction

  • In large skillet, saute the onions, peppers and garlic in the olive oil over medium heat until slightly soft.
  • Add the meat and cook until brown.
  • Add the tomato sauce and water, and bring to a boil.
  • Stir in the quinoa, cayenne pepper, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
  • Reduce heat, cover and let simmer until quinoa is soft and much of the liquid has been absorbed. You can always add more water if it seems too thick.
