Ingredients

For the Stuffed Peppers

  • 4 large bell peppers, tops cut off and seeds removed approx. 1 lb or 450g
  • 1 pound ground beef approx. 450g
  • ½ medium onion, finely chopped approx. 4 oz or 113g
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp paprika approx. 2g
  • 1 tsp cumin approx. 2g
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Cauliflower Rice

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower, riced approx. 1 lb or 450g
  • 2 tbsp olive oil approx. 30ml
  • ¼ cup chicken or beef broth approx. 60ml
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Topping

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese approx. 4 oz or 113g

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté with the beef until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
  • In a separate skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the riced cauliflower and sauté for 5 minutes until it starts to become tender.
  • Pour in the broth, season with salt and pepper, and cover the skillet. Let it steam for about 5 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed.
  • Combine the cooked cauliflower rice with the beef mixture, mixing well.
  • Arrange the bell peppers in a baking dish and spoon the beef and cauliflower rice mixture into each pepper.
  • Top each stuffed pepper with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve hot and enjoy your Keto Beef Stuffed Peppers with Cauliflower Rice!

Notes

Feel free to personalize this recipe by adding your favorite herbs or spices to the beef and cauliflower rice mixture.
If you're dairy-free, you can omit the cheese or use a dairy-free cheese alternative.
The stuffed peppers can be prepared in advance and refrigerated. Just add a few extra minutes to the cooking time if baking from chilled.
To ensure the peppers cook evenly, choose peppers that are similar in size and shape.
