Reviews
I made this b/c I was looking for a stuffed pepper casserole recipe that didn’t include rice, not b/c it was keto. I made it without the aminos and I subbed Impossible meat for beef and added salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Overall, pretty good and I’d make it again.
Made as listed, and the wife loved it. She did think it needed more tomato flavor like real stuffed peppers…so next time we might substitute the broth for tomato sauce or soup.
was a little bland, Jalapenos or some pepper spice would add nicely to this
Wonderful! I am not a stuffed pepper fan. I much prefer the peppers chopped. I substituted Rotel tomatoes and low sodium soy sauce for the regular canned tomatoes and ‘coconut aminos’. Also used a package of frozen ‘riced’ cauliflower instead of fresh. This was absolutely delicious!!!
I used frozen cauliflower rice instead and it.came out delicious
