Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 F
Add diced onions to a medium-low heat pan and saute for ~ 5 minutes
Add mined garlic to the pan, and continue sauteing for another 3 minutes
Add diced tomatoes; simmer for 3 - 5 minutes
Add water and TVP to tomato mixture
Add in your Nutritional Yeast and spices, stirring regularly
While your TVP is cooking, cut the Green Peppers in half (remove stem and seeds)
Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and place peppers cut-side down; bake in the oven for 20 - 25 minutes. You should be able to easily poke a fork into the pepper when done
Continue stirring and flipping TVP; it should be browning and becoming crumbly
Once TVP is the correct texture, remove from heat and allow to cool for 3 - 5 minutes. Once cool-ish, add Feta Crumbles (you want to make sure it’s off of the heat because vegan feta tends to melt and you want it to stay solid) and mix well
Once peppers and TVP are done, flip the peppers over and fill with TVP
Sprinkle shredded cheese on top
Put back in the oven and broil for 3 - 5 minutes until shredded cheese has melted
