Skinny Italian Beef and Peppers - 15g Carbs, 4g Fiber, 1g Sugar

4 bell peppers, diced (I used 1 red, 1 green, 1 orange, and 1 yellow)
1 lb lean ground beef
2 Tbsp garlic, minced
1/2 cup green onions, diced
1/4 cup lemon juice
4 celery stalks, diced
15 oz can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), rinsed and drained
1 - 0.7 oz packet all natural Italian salad dressing dry mix

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a casserole dish with nonstick
cooking spray and set aside.

In a large skillet, add ground beef and cook over medium heat.

Use a fork or spatula to separate the ground beef and cook until no
longer pink. Remove ground beef, place in a bowl, and set aside.

In same skillet, over medium heat, add olive oil, celery, garlic,
peppers and green onions. Cook vegetables 4 to 6 minutes, until they
have softened.

Return ground beef to skillet. Add lemon juice, Italian seasonings, red
pepper flakes, garbanzo beans and 1 Tbsp water. Using a spoon, mix all
ingredients together and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.

Transfer mixture to casserole dish. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan
cheese. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until cheese has melted.
