Stuffed peppers are a classic dish that is often served as a main course. They can be filled with a variety of ingredients, from meats to vegetables, and can be spiced up with a variety of seasonings. To make them a perfect keto meal, we’ve used a combination of ground beef, cheese, and spices to create a flavorful, filling dish with only 5g of net carbs per serving.

Ingredients

For this keto-friendly recipe, you’ll need:

Four large bell peppers
One pound of ground beef
One cup of shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a combination)
One small onion, diced
One teaspoon of garlic powder
One teaspoon of smoked paprika
One teaspoon of dried oregano
One teaspoon of dried parsley
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F and prepping your peppers. Cut the tops off the peppers, and then carefully remove any seeds and membranes. Place the peppers in a baking dish, and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the ground beef over medium-high heat until it’s cooked through. Drain any fat, if necessary. Add the diced onion, garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, parsley, and salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.

Remove the skillet from the heat, and stir in the shredded cheese. Scoop the mixture into the peppers, dividing it evenly between the four peppers. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven, and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted.

Remove the baking dish from the oven, and let the peppers cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve the peppers with your favorite keto-friendly side dish, such as a garden salad, cauliflower rice, or roasted vegetables.
