Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Arrange bell peppers, cut-side up, in a 10x15-inch baking dish, season with salt. Pour enough water into dish to make 1/4-inch depth.

  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes, drain and discard grease. Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, 1 teaspoon salt, oregano, and black pepper to ground beef, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until flavors blend, about 15 minutes.

  4. Fill each bell pepper with a heaping tablespoon cottage cheese, top with a layer of mozzarella cheese, a layer of Cheddar cheese, and meat sauce. Sprinkle each 'boat' with more mozzarella cheese and Cheddar cheese.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until peppers are tender and cheeses are melted, 50 to 65 minutes.

Recipe Note

Always looking for low-carb recipes, I was making my family lasagna and got the idea to make my lasagna in a 'green pepper boat' instead of using noodles. This tastes great even to people who love carbs! Freezes well too. If I make a smaller batch, I will freeze the leftover sauce for the next time.
