Keto Stuffed Peppers Ingredients

You'll only need 9 key ingredients to make these easy low carb stuffed bell peppers.

• Bell peppers - medium or large-sized bell peppers of your choice. You can cut them lengthwise or remove the tops to fill.
• Ground beef - lean ground beef works best for this recipe as it reduces the moisture content and total fat.
• Cauliflower - you'll need some grated cauliflower 'rice' to add to the ground beef.
• Cheese - our stuffed bell peppers are topped with grated Edam, our Gouda cheese.
• Tomatoes - you can use crushed canned tomatoes or tomato puree for this recipe, whatever you have available.
• Olive oil - we used olive oil, but any vegetable oil will work.
• Seasonings - we used garlic powder, dried basil, mild paprika, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper for this recipe.

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 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!
