Print Recipe

I remember my grandmother making stuffed peppers on Sundays—it was her way of showing love on a plate. Now, I’ve given that same comfort a keto twist, using mini peppers, juicy ground beef, and gooey cheese. It’s low-carb, full of flavor, and so simple to make. Perfect for anyone looking to eat well without missing out on the joy of hearty meals. Try it this week and share a plate with someone you love!

Ingredients

Scale

  • 12 mini bell peppers, halved and deseeded

  • 1 lb ground beef

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • ½ tsp paprika

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp ground cumin

  • 1 small onion, grated (with juice) or 2 tsp onion powder

  • 1 large egg white

  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • Optional: chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a baking sheet with olive oil.

  • In a large bowl, combine ground beef, spices, grated onion, and egg white. Mix well.

  • Cut mini peppers in half lengthwise, remove seeds.

  • Fill each pepper half with the beef mixture. Keep the tops level.

  • Bake for 20 minutes until beef is fully cooked and peppers are tender.

  • Top with shredded cheese and bake 3–4 more minutes until melted.

  • Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm!

Notes

  • Grate onion more easily by freezing it for 15 minutes first.

  • Cheese adds salt, so go easy on the beef seasoning.

  • Use any cheese you like—cheddar or pepper jack works great too!
