You’re not the only one who remembers eating ground beef and cheese-stuffed peppers as a kid. You’ve also come to the perfect place if you’re looking to enjoy keto (or low-carb) stuffed peppers. A dinner full of flavor and beauty is not necessary if you cut out carbohydrates. Stuffed peppers may become Paleo, keto, and low-carb delicacies with a couple of small adjustments. Add avocado slices, sour cream, and/or a sprinkle of olive oil as garnishes.

Made this but it came out really dry. I had to add alot to it to get it to moisten up
Very easy to make and the recipe was great as written. I added 4oz. of cubed cheese the second time I made it for another tasty variation.
I served it hot and it was still delicious. I added more salt and peeper witch made it perfect
So easy to make. This would be perfect for potlucks, picnics or any other gathering. I didn’t have cherry tomatoes on hand so I chopped up some romas. A sprinkling of crushed red pepper flakes work well with this too.
