    Keto Stuffed Bell Peppers Ingredients

    •  bell peppers in any color
    • olive oil
    • onion diced
    • ground beef
    • cauliflower rice
    • Italian seasoning
    • tomato sauce
    • garlic minced
    • fontina cheese 
    • parmesan cheese
    • Salt and pepper
    • red pepper flakes more or less to taste
    • Fresh basil or parsley for garnishing

    How to Make Stuffed Bell Peppers

    1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Oil a large (9x13”) baking dish.
    2. Halve the peppers and clean out the seeds and membranes. Rub a little olive oil on the inside of each pepper. Place in a baking dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes, until peppers are soft but undercooked. Remove from oven and set aside.
    3. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining olive oil and saute the onion until soft, about 3 minutes. Add in the ground beef and cook until no longer pink. Drain off any fat if necessary.
    4. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about one minute. Stir in the tomato sauce, cauliflower rice, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes. Cook for about 2 minutes more.
    5. Turn off heat and stir in half of the fontina cheese and all of the parmesan. Spoon this mixture into the par-baked peppers. Top each one with remaining fontina.
    6. Lower oven temperature to 350°F and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until cheese is melted and pepper is soft and tender, and edges are starting to brown.
    7. Remove from oven and allow to cool for just a couple minutes.
    8. Sprinkle with fresh basil or parsley if desired and serve warm.

    Low Carb Stuffed Peppers FAQs

    Are bell peppers keto?

    Yes! They are naturally low in carbs, making bell peppers a perfect choice for a keto meal plan.

    Can they be made ahead of time?

    Yes! You can stuff the peppers a day ahead of time and bake the next day.

    How long do they last in the refrigerator?

    Stored in an airtight container, keto stuffed peppers will last about 3 days in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave in a microwave-safe dish, or in the oven at 350°F covered in foil, until heated through.

    Can you freeze stuffed peppers?

    Yes. Allow the peppers to cool after baking, then transfer to a freezer-safe baking dish or another freezer-safe container to store. Label with the freezing date and store for up to 3-6 months. Bake straight out of the freezer at 350°F for 30 minutes when ready to enjoy.

    Notes

    • Fontina and parmesan cheeses are used here to add to the Italian flavorings in this stuffed pepper recipe, but feel free to substitute other cheeses. Mozzarella can be used instead of the fontina. Gouda, gruyere, or provolone are all fine substitutes for the fontina as well. Romano could also be used in place of the parmesan.
    • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
    • Reheat in the microwave, or in the oven at 350°F covered in foil, until heated through

      Husband scooted up his nose when I said I wanted to make these. He ate 2 of them and I had to refrain him from eating a 3rd one. I didn’t have fontina, so I added burrata on top and used a bit more Parmesan in the meat mixture. Will definitely make again!!!
