Lasagna Pepper Boats Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Lasagna Pepper Boats Recipe). Always looking for low-carb recipes, I was making my family lasagna and got the idea to make my lasagna in a 'green pepper boat' instead of using noodles. This tastes great even to people who love carbs! Freezes well too. If I make a smaller batch, I will freeze the leftover sauce for the next time.
