How To Make Keto Stuffed Peppers
Step 1
To get started, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).
Step 2
Take a frying pan and add the olive oil over a high heat. Sauté the ground beef for 3 to 5 minutes seasoning with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika and dried basil. Add the crushed tomatoes and continue to cook for another minute.
Step 3
Remove the pan from the heat and mix in the grated cauliflower. Stir everything together well until fully incorporated.
Step 4
Wash and cut the bell peppers lengthwise or remove the tops to make cups. Remove the seeds to make them hollow and arrange them on a baking pan.
Step 5
Fill each bell pepper with the ground beef mixture and top with grated Edam cheese.
Add about half a cup of water to the bottom of the baking pan to make sure the stuffed peppers stay moist while baking.
Step 6
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the peppers are tender. Add more water to the bottom of the pan if needed while baking.
Step 7
Serve hot and enjoy!
