Ingredients

  • 4 large bell peppers (any color)
  • 1 lb ground beef or lamb
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup cauliflower rice
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme or rosemary chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Prepare the bell peppers: Cut off the tops of the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Brush the insides of the peppers with olive oil and place them in a baking dish.
  • Cook the filling: In a large skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the ground beef or lamb and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the chopped onion and garlic, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the cauliflower rice and beef broth, cooking for another 5 minutes until the cauliflower rice is tender. Season with salt, pepper, fresh parsley, and thyme.
  • Stuff the peppers: Spoon the beef and cauliflower mixture into the prepared bell peppers. If desired, top each stuffed pepper with shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
  • Serve: Garnish with additional fresh parsley and serve hot.
