Stuffed peppers are all about the healthy, right? After all, it's a vegetable we're stuffing here, not a calzone. Well, hold on to your socks, because we've put the classic flavors of cheeseburger in a pepper. From the ground beef to the cheese to the sweet dressing on top, this is a cheeseburger in all but bun. Healthy? Yes, but also delicious. Tip: To remove the core of a tomato, carefully cut a shallow circle around the stem with a small knife, then remove circle.
