Ingredients

  • 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
  • ½ teaspoon dried cayenne pepper
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper

Instructions

  • 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.
