Stuffed Peppers with Pepperoni Recipe

Stuffed peppers are a classic dish to whip up for a quick, veggie-packed meal. 

While most recipes incorporate rice into the pepper “stuffing,” we keep it simple with fresh, nutrient-dense veggies: tomatoes for a dose of anti-aging lycopene, antioxidant-rich chili pepper flakes, and immune-boosting garlic.

Then we add naturally fermented Paleovalley Grass Fed Beef Sticks for a smoky flavor and gut-healing probiotics.

Try out this healthy twist on a classic for a simple yet complexly-flavored dinner or side dish.
