Keto Stuffed Peppers
Keto Stuffed Peppers
This week we bring you another super simple traditional dish that we’ve Ketofied. This week we present: Keto Stuffed Peppers. They are super simple, delicious and another recipe that the whole family will enjoy. Of course Stuffed Peppers aren’t a new dish, I used to make these before the Keto diet, except mine would be filled with meat tomato sauce and probably either white rice, quinoa or maybe even corn. Most of those filler are higher and carbs so they aren’t good for a keto version of the dish.
We used a combination of two meats. Blending Italian Sausage with 80/20 ground beef. For our recipe we are counting a serving size as a 1/2 of pepper.

Instructions
Lets Prepare our Peppers
- Cut off the tops of your Bell Peppers and remove the seeds
- Place your cleaned Bell Peppers in a casserole dish or a steamer dish. Add a little water - don't cover them, just enough to be able to steam them when you add to microwave.Cover your peppers tightly with plastic if you are using a casserole dish; or seal in steamer dish.Steam in Microwave for 5 minutes! Remove when done.***BE CAREFUL WHEN OPENING THE CONTAINER OR REMOVING THE PLASTIC THE STEAM WILL BE HOT!!!**Set aside your peppers for stuffing

Lets Stuff Our Peppers
- Optional Step: We like to set our peppers on a layer of meat at the bottom of the casserole dish - this is totally optional.
- Begin stuffing each pepper.Stand and place each pepper in your casserole dish (the first one will be the toughest to get to stand up)
