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

    Fresh ingredients arranged on a table including bell peppers, ground beef, cauliflower, cheese, crushed tomatoes, olive oil, herbs and seasonings
    • 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 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

    Storage Instructions

    In the fridge: leftover stuffed peppers can be kept in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

    In the freezer: you can freeze these stuffed peppers by storing them in air tight freezer proof containers where they'll keep for up to 6 months.

    How to reheat: whether frozen or from the fridge, place in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time until heated all the way through. You can also warm them up in a preheated oven.
