Ingredients
  

  • 4 large bell peppers (any color)
  • 400g ground beef (or chicken/turkey)
  • 1 cup riced cauliflower
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet
  • 1 Baking dish
  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Wooden spoon
  • 1 Knife & chopping board

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Bell Peppers: Wash them and cut the tops off carefully, then use a knife to scrape off the seeds and membranes, making an empty vessel. Set aside.
  2. Cook the Meat Filling: In a pan, heat olive oil, and sauté onion and garlic until aromatic; add in ground beef. Cook until fully browned.
  3. Add the Seasoning: Mix in the cauliflower rice, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. (33 g) Cook for 5 min or until flavors meld.
  4. Stuff the Peppers: Spoon the seasoned mixture evenly into each bell pepper, pressing gently to fill them well.
  5. Add Cheese: After filling each pepper, sprinkle mozzarella, and parmesan on top for a cheesy, rich layer!
  6. Bake the Peppers: Place them in a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes. Remove foil, bake 10 more minutes until cheese is golden.
  7. Rest & Serve: Allow to rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Try a variety of different cheese combinations to make them taste better yet!
  • You can also pre-roast the peppers so they're more tender.
  • Try shredded chicken or turkey in place of ground beef for a lighter leaning iteration.
  • Include jalapeños or chilli flakes if you like things spicy.
  • Don’t forget you can prepare this ahead and freeze!
