Keto Stuffed Peppers Recipe
Stuffed peppers are a classic dish that has been enjoyed for generations. They are often made with ground beef, rice, and tomato sauce, then baked until tender and topped with melted cheese. While this is a delicious combination, it is not always the healthiest choice, especially for those following a low-carb or keto diet. That’s where this keto-friendly version comes in.
Instead of traditional rice, this recipe uses cauliflower rice, which is a low-carb alternative that is also high in nutrients. The ground beef provides plenty of protein and flavour, while the diced onion, celery, and bell pepper add texture and flavour. The seasonings, including oregano, basil, paprika, salt, and black pepper, complement the other ingredients perfectly and add a depth of flavour to the dish.
Of course, what really sets these keto stuffed peppers apart is the cheese. There is plenty of it, from the grated Parmesan cheese mixed into the filling to the shredded mozzarella cheese melted on top of each pepper. The cheese adds richness and creaminess, making these peppers even more satisfying and delicious.
