Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

4 large bell peppers
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 Bell Peppers: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes carefully. Set the hollowed peppers aside.
Sauté Onion 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 lean ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks, approximately 6-7 minutes.
Add Seasoning and Tomatoes: Stir in the low-carb taco seasoning and diced tomatoes with their juice. Simmer the mixture for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the liquid to reduce slightly.
Combine with Cauliflower Rice: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the steamed cauliflower rice along with half of the grated cheese to incorporate flavor and texture.
Stuff Bell Peppers: Spoon the beef and cauliflower rice mixture into each prepared bell pepper, pressing down gently to fill evenly. Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish upright.
Top with Cheese and Bake: Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese over the tops of each stuffed pepper. Cover the baking dish loosely with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Serve: Let the stuffed peppers cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your flavorful, keto-friendly meal.

Notes

You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the lean ground beef for a lighter variation.
To steam cauliflower rice, simply pulse cauliflower florets in a food processor until rice-sized, then steam gently until tender.
Use a mix of cheeses like cheddar and mozzarella for a richer flavor.
Leftover stuffing makes a great filling for lettuce wraps or as a taco bowl base.
Adjust taco seasoning to your preferred spice level and check it’s low-carb.
