  • Total Time: 7 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Peppers

  • 4 large bell peppers (any color)

Stuffing

  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey
  • 1 cup cauliflower rice
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes (no sugar added)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Topping

  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peppers: Cut the tops off the bell peppers and carefully remove all the seeds and membranes inside to create hollow shells ready for stuffing.
  2. Mix the filling: In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the ground beef or turkey, cauliflower rice, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until evenly mixed.
  3. Stuff the peppers: Spoon the meat and cauliflower rice mixture into each hollowed-out bell pepper, pressing down gently to pack the filling well.
  4. Arrange in the slow cooker: Place the stuffed peppers upright in the crockpot so they remain stable during cooking.
  5. Add cheese topping: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese evenly over the tops of each stuffed pepper.
  6. Slow cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low heat for 6 to 7 hours or on high heat for 3 to 4 hours until the peppers are tender and the filling is fully cooked through.
  7. Serve: Carefully remove the stuffed peppers from the crockpot, serve hot, and enjoy your flavorful keto-friendly meal.

Notes

  • You can swap ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • Cauliflower rice is a great low-carb substitute for traditional rice in this recipe.
  • If you don’t have a slow cooker, you can bake the stuffed peppers in a covered baking dish at 350°F for about 45 minutes.
  • Feel free to use your preferred cheese variety or omit it to reduce fat content.
  • Adding chopped onions or garlic to the filling can enhance the flavor profile.
