Delicious Keto Stuffed Peppers filled with a savory mix of ground beef, cauliflower rice, and tomatoes, topped with melted cheese. This low-carb, flavorful dish is perfect for an easy and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Peppers

  • 4 large bell peppers (any color)

Filling

  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey
  • 1 cup cauliflower rice
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes (no sugar added)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Topping

  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Peppers: Cut the tops off the bell peppers and carefully remove all seeds and membranes to create hollow vessels for the filling.
  2. Make Filling: In a bowl, combine the ground beef or turkey, cauliflower rice, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
  3. Stuff Peppers: Spoon the meat and vegetable mixture into each hollowed bell pepper, packing the filling gently but firmly.
  4. Arrange in Crockpot: Place the stuffed bell peppers upright inside the crockpot, ensuring they stand stable to avoid tipping during cooking.
  5. Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese evenly over the tops of each stuffed pepper.
  6. Cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid. Cook on low heat for 7 hours or on high heat for 4 hours until the peppers are tender and the filling is fully cooked.
  7. Serve: Carefully remove the stuffed peppers from the crockpot and serve hot. Enjoy your keto-friendly meal!

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, substitute ground meat with cooked lentils or crumbled firm tofu.
  • You can use different cheese varieties like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for extra flavor.
  • To speed up cooking, pre-cook the filling in a skillet before stuffing the peppers.
  • If a crockpot is unavailable, bake stuffed peppers in a covered baking dish at 350°F for approximately 1 hour.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, adding garlic powder or onion powder for additional flavor.
  • Use fresh tomatoes if canned are not preferred, but ensure to drain excess liquid.
