A creamy keto stuffed bell peppers recipe with ground beef, cauliflower rice, and melted cheese for a satisfying low-carb meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large bell peppers, halved lengthwise and seeds removed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb ground beef (85/15 or 90/10)
  • 1/2 medium onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes (drained)
  • 1 1/2 cups cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt (plus more to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella (or mozzarella + cheddar blend), divided
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan (optional, for extra “bake” flavor)
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Place pepper halves cut-side up in a baking dish. Brush lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Bake 10 minutes to soften slightly.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook 5–7 minutes, breaking it up, until browned. Drain excess grease if needed.
  3. Stir in onion and cook 2–3 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Stir in tomato paste, diced tomatoes, cauliflower rice, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook 3–4 minutes until cauliflower rice is tender and moisture reduces.
  4. Reduce heat to low. Stir in cream cheese until melted and smooth, then pour in heavy cream and mix until the filling is creamy and thick.
  5. Remove peppers from oven. Spoon filling into each pepper half. Top with remaining shredded mozzarella (and Parmesan if using).
  6. Bake 20–25 minutes until peppers are tender and cheese is bubbly. For extra browning, broil 1–2 minutes at the end (watch closely).
  7. Sprinkle with parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen cauliflower rice.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Broil briefly for extra browning.
