💡 Expert Tips

  • Use any type of bell peppers you like.
  • Top the peppers with any shredded cheese you like. Cheddar, Monterey, mozzarella cheese or even sliced cheese.
  • If you want to use less ground beef or your bell peppers are huge you might add a cup of cauliflower rice or cooked diced mushrooms to the meat mixture.
  • Use any ground meat you like. Ground turkey, chicken or lamb are great in this recipe too.
  • Cut your bell peppers lengthwise, if they are bigger than average size.

🧺 Storage

Store leftovers in airtight containers and refrigerate for 3-4 days. To reheat, loosely cover then place in a 350F oven until thoroughly heated.

👩‍🍳 Variations

  • Change the flavor a bit, use Italian seasoning or maybe taco seasoning

💬 FAQs

Which bell pepper is best on a low carb diet?

All sweet bell peppers are low in carbs but know that green bell peppers are the lowest in carbs. Regardless all bell peppers are anti-inflammatory and rich in vitamin C and a good veggie choice.

How can I tell when stuffed peppers are done?

An instant read thermometer should read at least 160°F. Also look at the bell peppers, they should be soft and tender and the cheese melted.
