Ingredients Needed
Bell Peppers. Color doesn’t matter for this recipe. Feel free to grab a variety to keep things exciting, or grab whatever looks the freshest in your local produce section.Ground Beef. You’ll brown this in a skillet and add to your peppers before cooking. Generally, I would suggest a leaner option, but if you’re eating low carb or keto, a higher fat content will help keep you fuller for longer. Riced Cauliflower. You can make your own riced cauliflower or you can use the prepackaged variety. They’re both equally tasty in this dish.Tomato Sauce. This increases the carb count slightly, but it will drastically improve the flavor of the dish. Taco Seasoning. Make sure you read the package before reaching for this if you’re counting carbs. There can be several hidden carbs in the prepackaged varieties. Cheddar Cheese. You can use any shredded cheese for this recipe, but I personally prefer the sharp bite of cheddar paired with the taco meat.
How To Make Keto Stuffed Peppers
Tips and Tricks
Shop for flat bottoms. Not all peppers are easily stuffed. When you’re shopping for your next batch of produce, stand your peppers on the palm of your hand to see if they sit flat. The easier they balance, the easier they will be to stuff. Remove the seeds. Bell peppers are typically a sweet pepper, but the seeds can pack a bit of heat if you’re sensitive to spice. Ensure you remove most, if not all, of the seeds for a family-friendly dish.Save the extra sauce. I used tomato sauce to mix in with the riced cauliflower in this recipe, but I like to save any extra sauce in the can to drizzle over the peppers while they’re still warm. It makes them extra moist and makes them better when reheated. Garnish for a pop of flavor. I like to add some chopped cilantro and sour cream when I plate these tasty stuffed peppers. They’re the perfect low carb substitute for your next Taco Tuesday.
How Long Do They Last?
I like to use the sell-by or use-by date on my ground beef as a guide for this recipe. Veggies can last a long time when stored correctly, so if you choose to make these without added protein, you can add a few extra days to
