Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

4 large bell peppers
1 small onion, finely diced
1 cup steamed cauliflower rice
1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes in their juice

Meat

1 pound lean ground beef

Seasonings & Oils

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons low-carb taco seasoning

Dairy

2 cups grated cheese, split (1 cup for mixing and 1 cup for topping)

Instructions

Prepare the bell peppers: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside.
Sauté the onions and beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
Add seasoning and tomatoes: Stir in the low-carb taco seasoning and diced tomatoes with their juice. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to combine flavors and thicken slightly.
Mix in cauliflower rice and cheese: Stir in steamed cauliflower rice and 1 cup of grated cheese into the beef mixture until well incorporated.
Stuff the bell peppers: Spoon the beef mixture evenly into each hollowed bell pepper, filling them to the top.
Top with cheese: Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of grated cheese on top of each stuffed pepper.
Bake: Place the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish and cover with foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Serve: Let the stuffed peppers cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a hearty low-carb meal.

Notes

You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef for a leaner protein option.
Steaming the cauliflower rice beforehand prevents excess moisture in the filling.
Feel free to add chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat, microwave covered for 2-3 minutes or bake in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
