Ingredients

Scale

Bell Peppers and Filling

  • 4 large bell peppers
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons keto taco seasoning
  • 1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes in their juices
  • 1 cup steamed cauliflower rice
  • 2 cups shredded cheese, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F) and lightly grease a large baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Bell Peppers: Slice off the tops of the bell peppers, remove the seeds and membranes, then slice each pepper in half. Arrange the halves cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Sauté Onions and Cook Beef: In a large non-stick pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 1 minute until slightly softened. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and no longer pink.
  4. Add Seasoning and Tomatoes: Stir in the keto taco seasoning, then pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices. Allow the mixture to simmer for 1 minute to blend flavors.
  5. Mix in Cauliflower Rice and Cheese: Remove the pan from heat. Stir the steamed cauliflower rice and 1 cup of shredded cheese into the meat mixture until well combined.
  6. Stuff the Peppers: Evenly scoop the filling into each bell pepper half and sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.
  7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake the stuffed peppers for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the peppers are tender.
  8. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the stuffed peppers immediately while hot and cheesy.
