1 Bell Pepper, any color, cut in half, seeded, washed
1 NS cheesy homestyle potatoes
2 slices turkey bacon

*When pepper is finished, top with taters, bacon, cheese, and onions.

*Top with sour cream.
*YUM!

If you don't want to use a fork, cut pepper in 4's.

NS said that the whole bell pepper I used counts as 1 veggie and since green onions are unlimited, I marked it as 1/2 a veggie.

Since you're using partial servings of bacon/cheese, they count as 1 full protein serving.

I was thinking of shredding the chicken and cooking it with the rice. Hmm...
