Ingredients :

• 3 medium bell peppers
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt divided
• 1 teaspoon pepper divided
• 1/2 medium yellow onion diced
• 1 cup grated zucchini
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1 cup crushed tomatoes or your favorite tomato sauce

• Cooking spray
• Thinly sliced scallions or fresh herbs to garnish (optional)

Instructions :

1. Preheat the oven to 350 and spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
