 stuffed peppers with cottage cheese

My family loves cottage cheese. And, I've been eating it since I don't know may be when I was 5 year old. But in those days, there was no fancy way to eat Cottage Cheese like we do it today.

Hearty, healthy, creamy, and full of Protein - the best part: comes together in no time!

I remember my granny used to love cottage cheese. She would ask us to eat it and as kids, our first response would be NO. Then she would sprinkle some sugar on it and then we'd happily enjoy it.

These days, especially when I've made my diet a huge priority in my life, I like to use cottage cheese in my diet.

Cottage cheese is high in protein and excellent for muscle growth and recovery.

Baked Cottage Cheese Stuffed Peppers

To make this High Protein Easy Cottage Cheese Stuffed Peppers, you'd be cooking cottage cheese with sauteed onions and garlic with some seasonings, herbs, and tomato sauce.

Once the mixture gets well seasoned and thoroughly cooked, you'd be stuffing them in bell peppers, topping them with more cheese, and finally baking them to gorgeousness.

Can I stuff bell peppers with ground beef?

Should peppers be boiled before stuffing?

Parboiling improves the texture of bell peppers. Parboiling removes the bitterness from peppers, making them ready.

But I personally skip this step, especially when I'm gonna bake them later on. Moreover, I think when you are using colorful bell peppers, especially the ones which are red, orange, or yellow, they are naturally sweet, and they don't need any parboiling to remove bitterness.

But, if you are using green bell peppers, I suggest you parboil them for a minute or two in salted water.

Ingredients:

  • Cottage cheese
  • bell pepper
  • Onions
  • Garlic
  • tomato sauce
  • dried oregano
  • red wine vinegar
  • cottage cheese

How to Make Cottage Cheese Stuffed Bell Peppers?

Heat a large non-stick skillet with olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers sauté onions and garlic until soft and fragrant.

Add chopped bell peppers, tomato sauce, dried oregano, and red wine vinegar.

Stir in Cottage Cheese and mix well until combined.

  • STEP 2: Stuff peppers and top with cheese

Place bell peppers (halved) into a baking dish. Spray some non-stick cooking oil over them.

Spoon the filling into the bell peppers. Top with sharp shredded cheddar cheese.

  • STEP 3: Bake and Serve

Bake in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Serve with fresh chopped parsley.
