Description

This cheesy Keto Stuffed Pepper Casserole swaps rice for cauliflower and is baked to perfection for a healthy, hearty low-carb dinner option.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head cauliflower, broken into florets
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ½ cup onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 green bell peppers, chopped
  • Italian seasoning, or to taste
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
  • ¾ cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon coconut aminos, or to taste
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions

Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a large casserole dish and set aside.

Rice the Cauliflower

Place the cauliflower florets into a food processor. Pulse several times until the cauliflower reaches a rice-like consistency. Transfer the riced cauliflower into the casserole dish and spread it out evenly.

Cook the Beef Mixture

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the meat is browned and the onions are softened.

Add Peppers and Seasoning

Add the chopped green bell peppers and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning to the beef mixture. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, just until the peppers begin to soften.

Combine Ingredients

Drain any excess moisture from the skillet. Add the drained diced tomatoes and beef broth to the skillet and stir well. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Assemble the Casserole

Pour the beef and vegetable mixture into the casserole dish with the riced cauliflower. Mix everything thoroughly to combine. Drizzle the coconut aminos over the top.

Add Cheese and Bake

Sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese evenly over the surface of the casserole. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the casserole is heated through.

Notes

Riced cauliflower can also be purchased pre-riced in the frozen vegetable section to save prep time.

Make sure to drain tomatoes well to prevent excess liquid in the casserole.
