Our Keto Stuffed Peppers are the low-carb answer to that classic dinner party favourite.
We've ditched the rice and bread crumbs, replacing them with a cheesy, beefy filling that'll have you wondering why you ever bothered with carbs in the first place!
Now, let's talk turkey (or in this case, beef). Each serving of this retro-inspired delight packs a protein punch with 24.6g, while keeping the carbs to a modest 10.2g. With 1.5g of fibre and 386 calories per serving, it's a satisfying meal that fits nicely into your keto lifestyle.
Here's a nifty little tip for you: opt for green bell peppers if you're watching your carbs extra closely. They're lower in carbs than their yellow and red cousins. It's like a traffic light system for your keto diet!
So whether you're hosting a dinner party or just fancy a trip down memory lane, these stuffed peppers are sure to hit the spot. Serve them up with a slice or two of Heylo's keto loaf or rolls for maximum satisfaction. It's comfort food that won't leave you in a food coma!
Reckon this recipe's a keeper? Why not snap a pic of your creation and share it on the 'gram, jot it down in your recipe book, or pin it for your next keto dinner party? Your future self (and your impressed dinner guests) will thank you!

Dinner
Some dishes never go out of fashion and we thought this 80's dinner party favourite was due for a low-carb makeover. By replacing the usual rice, couscous, bulgar wheat, or regular bread often found in a stuffing, you can massively reduce the carbs of your meal. Serve alongside a slice or two of Heylo's keto loaf or rolls for maximum satisfaction.
Heads up! A green bell pepper is lower in carbohydrates than yellow or red peppers.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Season with salt.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, cream cheese, taco seasoning and one bell pepper diced.
Slice the remaining bell peppers in half from stem to end.
Add filling to each of the bell pepper halves.
Place the stuffed peppers on a parchment or foil lined baking tray or dish.
Sprinkle cheese over each stuffed pepper.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Garnish with sour cream and coriander.
