Secret Stuffed Peppers

Ingredients

• 4 ounces chicken livers
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/4 cup avocado oil, or 1/4 cup coconut oil or ghee
• 1 small red onion, diced
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon finely ground sea salt
• 4 medium bell peppers, any color
• 1 cup riced cauliflower
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (dairy-free or regular), divided

Directions

1. Place the livers in a bowl and cover with water.
2. Add the vinegar.
3. Cover and place in the fridge to soak for 24 to 48 hours.
4. After at least 24 hours, rinse and drain the soaked livers, then chop them into small pieces.
5. Place the livers in a frying pan along with the ground beef, oil, onion, garlic, black pepper, oregano, and salt.
6. Saute over medium heat until no longer pink for 15 minutes, stirring often to crumble the meat as it cooks.
7. Cut the tops off the bell peppers, then core them, being sure to remove all the seeds and white membranes.
8. Place the peppers right side up in an 8-inch square baking pan and preheat the oven to 350 F.
9. After the meat mixture has cooked for 15 minutes, toss in the riced cauliflower and 3/4 cup of the cheese and stir to combine.
10. Spoon the mixture into the peppers, dividing it evenly.
11. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining cheese, 1 tablespoon per pepper.
12. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
