Equipment

Large skillet
Spatula
Baking dish
Knife
Cutting board
Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

4 large bell peppers, tops cut off and seeds removed approx. 1 lb or 450g
1 lb ground beef 450g
2 cups cauliflower rice about 10 oz or 300g
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 4 oz or 113g
½ medium onion, diced approx. 2 oz or 56g
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil 1 oz or 30ml
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
Fresh parsley for garnish optional

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and sauté the diced onions until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the cauliflower rice, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook together for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese until well combined.
Arrange the bell peppers in a baking dish, cut-side up. Spoon the beef and cauliflower mixture into each pepper, pressing down to ensure they are well stuffed.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top of each stuffed pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef with a meat alternative or additional vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini.

Ensure your cheese is keto-friendly, with no added starches or fillers.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warm throughout.
