Ingredients

  • 4 large bell peppers tops removed and seeds cleaned out
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup cauliflower rice
  • 1 cup keto-friendly marinara sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375F (190C).
  • In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Stir in the cauliflower rice, marinara sauce, and Italian seasoning. Cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Drizzle the inside of the bell peppers with olive oil, then fill them with the beef and cauliflower mixture. Top with shredded mozzarella.
  • Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley or basil and serve warm.

Notes

Chef's Tip: Stand the peppers upright in a snug baking dish - if they wobble, trim a thin sliver off the bottom rather than letting the filling spill. Keto Swap: traditional white rice is replaced with cauliflower rice.
