Stuffed Ancestral Blend Poblano Peppers
Heather Hartman HealthShare
These stuffed poblano peppers are truly delicious. I use the Force of Nature ancestral blend ground beef for everything, but you can use any grass fed and finished ground beef. I like the Force of Nature ancestral blend because they make it so easy to incorporate organ meats like heart and liver into your diet.
If you made my chipotle steak fajita recipe and have extra marinade, perfect, you’ll use it for this! If you are vegetarian, add veggies like mushrooms, sweet potatoes, and brussels sprouts instead of the ground beef.
The stuffed poblano peppers also go perfectly with this pico recipe. Please save and share!
