 These Keto Stuffed Peppers are made the classic way with ground beef, tomato, garlic, onion and spices topped with melty cheese. They’re perfect for the keto diet!

Quick prep and even quicker clean-up plus delicious to boot, these Keto Stuffed Peppers are made the traditional way so you know they’re good. We’ve got ground beef, tomato, garlic, onion and spices topped with melty cheese for one great meal!

You can make this recipe by the book, or let your imagination run wild if you so choose. (I make these Keto Philly Cheese Steak Stuffed Peppers all the time and even stuffed mushrooms!). Hollowed out bell peppers are a fantastic vehicle to stuff full of your favorite meats and veggies. Plus, they are a great way to add color to your diet in order to get a variety of phytonutrients. Stuffed peppers for the win!

Bell Pepper Facts

Because we are science nerds we wanted to give a little background into bell pepper so here we go…Whenever I think of foods rich in vitamin C, my mind always goes to oranges because that’s just what we’ve been taught contains the most. But did you know that bell peppers have more Vitamin C than oranges?

100 grams of green bell pepper contains 95.7 mg compared to 53.2 mg in 100 grams of oranges.

vitamin c chart for a bell pepper 95.7 mg per 100g

vitamin c chart for oranges. 53.2mg per 100g

It seems pretty impressive, right? Well, green bell peppers are just the tip of the iceberg. Yellow and red varietals contain even more with 341 mg and 209 mg respectively.  And it’s not just vitamin C either. A large red bell pepper contains over 5000 IU of vitamin A whereas a large yellow bell pepper only contains 372 IU.

I always feel my best when I try to incorporate a variety of colors into my diet, which I call “eating the rainbow”. These Keto Stuffed Peppers are great for that!

Bell peppers are a great way to accomplish this on keto (green is easy) because yellow and orange are sometimes troublesome to fit within your macros. Depending on the time of year and availability you can also find bell peppers in brown, white, lavender, and dark purple.

Now, for some common questions:

How to make stuffed peppers:

  1. First, you’ll slice the tops off of your bell peppers and scoop out the seeds.
  2. Next, you’ll make your filling on the stovetop.
  3. After that, you’ll stuff the peppers with the filling and top with cheese.
  4. Transfer the peppers to the oven and bake until tender or until a fork easily pierces the side of the pepper.

What is in Keto Stuffed Peppers?

These have a meat mixture filling made with ground beef, olive oil, onions, garlic, diced tomatoes, Italian seasonings, and cauliflower rice. We also tucked in some cheese for good measure because cheese is so totally delicious. If you are dairy-free you can leave out the cheese.

Do I have to use a cast-iron skillet?

No, you can totally use a baking dish! Just be sure to choose one where all of the peppers touch so that they don’t tip over while baking.

Can I use ground chicken instead of beef?

Yes! Definitely. Feel free to swap any ground protein for the beef here. Turkey would also work great as would Italian sausage.

Can these be reheated?

Yes! These make a great meal-prep recipe. To reheat you’ll want to simply pop them in a 400° oven for about 10 minutes. The cheese will get nice and melty again, and let’s be honest. The cheese is the best part of any dish.

What is the nutritional information for these Keto Stuffed Peppers?

As always, you can find the full nutritional breakdown including the carb count (total carbs and net carbs) at the bottom of the recipe card and you can find the serving size/yield at the top of the recipe card. You should always double-check your specific ingredients because different brand’s ingredients may have different values.

For this recipe, each pepper is 10g net carbs.

      Other than the cauliflower rice which I love this recipe seems pretty traditional .I have all the ingredients except the tomato paste Since I’m not doing Keto I’ll probably just substitute ketchup.I’m sure that will be OK .I’ll post some pictures when I get it done .

    Hi the recipe looks delicious. However I presume you did not mean 114.5 oz of diced tomatoes. I followed my intuition and merely added 14.5- 28 oz of diced tomatoes. Thank you for creating these wonderful recipes for us. God bless.

      Hi Louise, definitely not – the recipe calls for one 14.5 ounce can, I can see where it would be easy to read through real fast and read it as 114.5 ounces. So glad you didn’t use 114.5 ounces lol!

    They were good but lacked something. I will make them again but will change it up a bit. Perhaps a little more paste and more seasonings such as Italian seasoning. Or use Rao marinara sauce instead tomatoes and paste.

      You can always adjust a bit, use less onion, use a different blend of cheese for less carbs, and lower the amount of cauliflower. Carb manager let’s you insert your own recipe and mine are only around 7 net carbs based on the spices/ingredients I used.

      Hi Nina, we’ve had a few readers say that they have frozen them but we have not given it a try yet. In theory, they should be perfectly fine and you can reheat in a skillet or the oven.

    I thought these were delicious. Made them at first uncovered (in error and they were okay (missed the 10 uncovered) Remade them today and they are delicious! I actually think the cauliflower rice is better than regular rice… I am thinking if you keep the original instructions I believe they would be tasty with spices of your choosing and ANY type of cheese that you like or have on hand!

Actually, I only cook for myself so last time I stuffed 2 peppers, placed remaining stuffing in a small casserole dish, and cooked it along with the peppers. Freezes perfectly and later very good with steamed broccoli, etc. Thanks for something so taste satisfying.

One of our favorite salsas has always been the taqueria-style jalapeño sauce that’s sometimes served with street-style tacos at your local Mexican restaurant. It’s richer than a salsa fresca or pico de gallo and is super creamy from the cooked jalapeños. We love the richness of it and it goes so well with so many things.

These Cauliflower Walnut Taco Cups were originally These Cauliflower Walnut Taco Cups were originally featured in our cookbook and now that Cast Iron Keto is focused on plant-based + low-carb recipes, we thought it deserved a permanent place on the website.⁠
⁠
If you have our cookbook, have you tried this recipe out of the Meatless Monday chapter? If not, we hope you do, even if you’re more omnivore than plant-based. Why? Because they are simply delicious!⁠
⁠
The combination of the crumbled walnuts, tender cauliflower, and smoky chipotle peppers in adobo sauce create a filling that, while it resembles ground beef, is much more layered in flavors.⁠
⁠
The toppings are completely up to you, these are just our go-to’s. Some type of creamy sauce would be delicious too. Maybe a bit of dairy-free (or regular) sour cream mixed with a bit of extra chipotle in adobo? Yes, that sounds just perfect. You can grab the recipe link in our bio!⁠

If you have access to other mushroom varieties, we love Maitake in this recipe too.⁠
⁠
The veggie mash is basically our Keto Mashed Cauliflower, we adore this recipe and use it for so many things. It really is perfection. Even if you’re not usually a fan of cauliflower, you’ll love it. And, yes, we know that’s what all the food bloggers say but we promise it’s true!⁠
⁠
Obviously, this recipe is pretty low-calorie so if you’re wanting to bump it up a bit, try serving this as a side with some protein. Tempeh and tofu are the obvious choices for plant-based folks or for omnivores, chicken or steak would be our go-to’s. If you serve this as a main or a side, either way, we bet you’ll love it!⁠

With our neighborhood seeing multiple crimes from break-ins, a kidnapping, and carjackings in the past week, the heartbreaking situation in Ukraine, Texas's ambivalence towards human rights, and the ongoing pandemic, times are bleak. But there's also beauty and comfort. For us, beauty was found in a walk around our neighborhood admiring the blooming trees ready for spring (swipe for photos), and comfort found in nourishing meals that feed our bodies as well as our souls. If you missed our new recipe last week, we shared this vegetable soup from our cookbook. It's loaded with veggies and is super comforting to us, reminding us of the vegetable soup we ate as kids, maybe it will be comforting to you too. Our thoughts are with humanity as a whole, may we remember that we're all the same and we all deserve peace.

✨ CREAMY JALAPEÑO SAUCE ✨ This spicy sauce i ✨ CREAMY JALAPEÑO SAUCE ✨  This spicy sauce is perfect for tacos, salads, burrito bowls, grilled proteins, and so much more! Ready in just minutes with only 3 ingredients (minus pantry staples), it’s a condiment you’ll want to have on hand at all times!⁠
⁠
One of our favorite salsas has always been the taqueria-style jalapeño sauce that’s sometimes served with street-style tacos at your local Mexican restaurant. It’s richer than a salsa fresca or pico de gallo and is super creamy from the cooked jalapeños. We love the richness of it and it goes so well with so many things. The recipe can be found via the link in our bio 😉 ⁠

We're obsessed with a few grilled recipes right now and one of them is our Charred Cabbage Salad!

These Cauliflower Walnut Taco Cups were originally These Cauliflower Walnut Taco Cups were originally featured in our cookbook and now that Cast Iron Keto is focused on plant-based + low-carb recipes, we thought it deserved a permanent place on the website.⁠
⁠
If you have our cookbook, have you tried this recipe out of the Meatless Monday chapter? If not, we hope you do, even if you’re more omnivore than plant-based. Why? Because they are simply delicious!⁠
⁠
The combination of the crumbled walnuts, tender cauliflower, and smoky chipotle peppers in adobo sauce create a filling that, while it resembles ground beef, is much more layered in flavors.⁠
⁠
The toppings are completely up to you, these are just our go-to’s. Some type of creamy sauce would be delicious too. Maybe a bit of dairy-free (or regular) sour cream mixed with a bit of extra chipotle in adobo? Yes, that sounds just perfect. You can grab the recipe link in our bio!⁠

Are you a mushroom fan? We are! 🍄 We especially Are you a mushroom fan? We are! 🍄 We especially love wild mushrooms but this easy meal of Balsamic Mushrooms with Herbed Veggie Mash is great with your run-of-the-mill creminis which are easy to find at any grocery store. If you have access to other mushroom varieties, we love Maitake in this recipe too.⁠
⁠
The veggie mash is basically our Keto Mashed Cauliflower, we adore this recipe and use it for so many things. It really is perfection. Even if you’re not usually a fan of cauliflower, you’ll love it. And, yes, we know that’s what all the food bloggers say but we promise it’s true!⁠
⁠
Obviously, this recipe is pretty low-calorie so if you’re wanting to bump it up a bit, try serving this as a side with some protein. Tempeh and tofu are the obvious choices for plant-based folks or for omnivores, chicken or steak would be our go-to’s. If you serve this as a main or a side, either way, we bet you’ll love it!⁠

With the world in chaos, it's so hard to stay focu With the world in chaos, it's so hard to stay focused. Do you feel the same? With our neighborhood seeing multiple crimes from break-ins, a kidnapping, and carjackings in the past week, the heartbreaking situation in Ukraine, Texas's ambivalence towards human rights, and the ongoing pandemic, times are bleak. But there's also beauty and comfort. For us, beauty was found in a walk around our neighborhood admiring the blooming trees ready for spring (swipe for photos), and comfort found in nourishing meals that feed our bodies as well as our souls. If you missed our new recipe last week, we shared this vegetable soup from our cookbook. It's loaded with veggies and is super comforting to us, reminding us of the vegetable soup we ate as kids, maybe it will be comforting to you too. Our thoughts are with humanity as a whole, may we remember that we're all the same and we all deserve peace.
