Keto Stuffed Peppers

Stuffed peppers are such a versatile dish because you can make them so many different ways - Mexican style, Italian, or any way you wish!

This recipe has a great cheesy taste and the onions and garlic add a nice savory flavor to the dish. One half of a bell pepper (a serving) will run you about 5 carbs but so worth it! Ingredient list and macros are below. Enjoy!

Step One:

Pre-heat your oven to 365. Add EVOO to your pan over medium heat and cook up garlic and onions for just a couple of minutes.

Step Two:

Add your ground pork sausage and beef and stir until meat has been cooked through.

Step Three:

Once the meat has been cooked, add your tomato paste and mix thoroughly.

Step Four:

Add your cream cheese and make sure it has melted and mixed into the meat. Cook for another two minutes and remove from heat.

Step Five:

Prepare your peppers by slicing them in half and placing them in an oven safe dish.

Step Six:

Evenly distribute the meat mixture into the peppers. This recipe will yield extra meat that I just eat for leftovers so don't worry about using all of the meat. Cover each pepper with cheese and bake in the oven for 20 - 30 minutes. I like to just make sure the cheese has browned and the peppers are well cooked and soft.
