Ingredients
- 1 lb of Ground Grass-Fed Beef - I usually get mine from Trader Joe's
- 1 lb of Ground Pork - you can use more beef or lamb if you don't want to use pork!
- 4 Cloves of Minced Garlic
- 1/2 Small Red Onion - Finley Chopped
- 3 Tbsp Fresh Parsley - Chopped
- 1/4 Cup Almond Flour
- 1/4 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/4 Cup Parmesan - Grated
- 1 egg
- Fresh ground pepper & a pinch of salt
- Vegetables of choice - I used zucchini tomatoes and bell peppers
- Grated cheese of choice I used a sharp white cheddar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 420F/215C.
- Then, I like to prep my vegetables so they are done and ready to be stuffed. I use a spoon and core out all my vegetables!
- Now, we are going to mix our meats. In a large mixing bowl, add beef, pork, onion and garlic.
- In the same bowl, add almond flour, parmesan, parsley, and olive oil.
- Last, we are going to add the egg, pepper, and salt. Mix super well; I use my hands.
- Now, you are going to put your vegetables in an oven-safe dish; I put parchment first. Then, you are going to stuff all those vegetables. - This recipe makes a lot, so it's perfect for a big family or meal prep.
- Place them in the oven and cook for 20 minutes.
- When the 20 minutes is almost up, it's time to grate your cheese and then put it on top of your almost completely cooked meat.
- Place the trays back in the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, and then broil until the cheese gets brownish and crunchy! (Also, the inner temp should read at least 140F to ensure the pork is cooked to the right temperature).
- Don't worry if you overcook it. The almond flour, olive oil, and pork will ensure this is a super moist finish.
- You are done!! I eat these as is. I think they are moist enough and full of flavor, you don't need a topping. But I have put avocado on top!
- If you made this, it would mean so much to me if you would review and rate this recipe! it really helps me out and allows me to improve my blog! Making this the best place for you!!

The calories vary depending on the vegetable and serving size of the vegetable! So, about 300-450 calories per serving.
I personally don't calorie count and think it's best to try to eat intentionally and not focus so much on numbers.
