Ingredients for Keto Stuffed Peppers

I bet you won’t miss rice in this recipe. Since we are keeping things low carb we don’t use rice in the beef filling. If you really want to add rice while making keto stuffed peppers I recommend using cauliflower rice or zero carbs shirataki rice you can order from Amazon

• Medium Peppers, any color you want. I loved the red and yellow ones.
• Ground Beef – You can use ground turkey or chicken.
• onion & garlic – adds so much flavor to the stuffing
• dicedtomatoes
• cheddar cheese – I used aged cheddar cheese because it has a stronger taste, but you can use any kind of cheese you love. Mozzarella would be a great substitute.
• salt & seasonings to taste

How to Make Keto Stuffed Peppers?

To make keto stuffed pepper we have to omit the rice that is usually used in the classic filling. Follow just a few steps and enjoy a delicious dinner:

1. Shred your cheese! The pre-shredded cheese usually has added agents like potato starch to prevent clumping and has more carbohydrates.
2. Take care of the Peppers. Gently wash the peppers and remove all the seeds and membranes from the inside. Sprinkle some salt over them.
3. Make The keto stuffing for the peppers. It tastes like lasagna without all the carbs.
4. Season the meat lasagna stuffing to taste.
5. Fill the peppers with the keto beef stuffing, sprinkle cheese on top and bake for about 15-20 minutes!
6. Add more oregano, and you will have a fabulous keto Italian meal without all the carbs from theirclassic bread and pasta dishes.
7. For the keto pepper’s stuffing, you will need to chop one medium onion and 2 cloves of garlic. Add them in a pan with 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat until it gets a nice golden brown color.

Use a food processor if you’re like me an cry like a baby when it comes to cutting onions.

After about 8 minutes it’s time to add the meat. While cooking, use a spatula break up the meat.

I added pink Himalayan salt,chili powder, black pepper, dried oregano leaves. Let your taste buds guide you through this step. After adding the tomatoes add more seasonings if you feel like it.

This is how the mixture looks before I add the tomatoes. Smells and tastes amazing. I could easily just sprinkle some cheese on top and have a nice quick low carb lunch.
