This might be one of my favorite recipes of all time. It is a complete meal in itself no need to make a side dish even, you've got your veggies, protein and fat all in one. The flavor is so good and the raisins add a hint of sweet that so complements the spicy and savo5ry of the peppers and beef. My mouth is watering just thinking about them.

I am in love! Second time making these in less than a week!
Yea! So happy that they are inspiring love in you 🙂
Hi Samantha! This looks great, but the first 30-days of SIBO does not allow raisins or any kind of fruit juice. Any suggestion for substitutions that are allowed? I have a list of allowed items that’s….sigh…way shorter than the list of all other foods in the world. Pineapple cut into very small pieces maybe?
Thanks. 🙂
Pineapple sounds like a really delicious alternative to raisins I like the way you are thinking!
These are soooooooooooo delicious!!! Thank you for sharing all these recipes.
Yea success! These might be my favorite of all my recipes 🙂
