8. Enjoy!
For this recipe I use ground beef so that it will taste more savory but it is always up to you what ingredients you will use that will suit your liking. This is a guilt-free meal because it did not use anything processed and all ingredients are fresh. Except for tomato paste and cheese. But of course, if you can find an alternative with cheese or milk, you are very welcome to do so.
I hope it all turned out well. And you can put as many onions and bell pepper as you like! Eat clean!
