Stuffed & Baked Peppers
Another firm favourite of my slimming world dinners would include these two way stuffed peppers. Syn Free
For the two way you can stuff the peppers purely with the vegetable rice, and for the two way you can add the cottage cheese and wrap in lean back bacon.
The vegetable rice is also great for a side dish!
