Ingredients
Scale
Bell Peppers
- 4 large bell peppers
Filling
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2 tablespoons low-carb taco seasoning
- 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes in their juice
- 1 cup steamed cauliflower rice
- 2 cups grated cheese, split
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Bell Peppers: Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and lightly grease a large baking dish. Slice the tops off the bell peppers, remove the seeds and membranes, then cut each pepper in half. Arrange the pepper halves cut side up in the baking dish.
- Cook the Filling: Heat olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté for about one minute until soft. Add ground beef and cook until no longer pink. Stir in low-carb taco seasoning and pour in the diced tomatoes with their juice. Let the mixture simmer for about one minute.
- Mix the Filling Ingredients: Remove the pan from heat and stir in steamed cauliflower rice and one cup of shredded cheese until well combined and the cheese starts to melt into the mixture.
- Stuff the Bell Peppers: Evenly spoon the beef and cauliflower mixture into each bell pepper half. Sprinkle the remaining cup of shredded cheese evenly over the top of each stuffed pepper.
- Bake the Stuffed Peppers: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese on top melts, bubbles, and the peppers are tender.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the stuffed peppers from the oven and serve immediately while hot, perfect as a hearty main dish or a satisfying side.
