Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté cauliflower rice until heated through and slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

03

Step

Heat olive oil in another large skillet over medium-low heat. Sauté onion and garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes.

04

Step

While the beef cooks, prepare the bell peppers: trim the tops and remove the seeds and membranes. If necessary, trim a small slice from the bottom of each pepper so they stand upright. Be careful not to cut through the bottom; if this happens, use extra cheese to seal any holes.

05

Step

Stir together the sautéed cauliflower rice, diced tomatoes, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese, tomato sauce, and chopped parsley into the cooked ground beef mixture. Season generously with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes.

06

Step

Divide the beef mixture evenly among the prepared bell peppers. Arrange the stuffed peppers in a baking dish or on a sheet pan.

07

Step

Top each pepper with the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese.

08

Step

Roast in the preheated oven until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and lightly golden, 25 to 35 minutes.

For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef mixture.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses. Mozzarella or a blend of Italian cheeses would also work well.
To prevent the peppers from drying out, add a splash of water or broth to the bottom of the baking dish before roasting.
These stuffed peppers are delicious served with a dollop of sour cream, a drizzle of olive oil, or a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

    I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still fantastic! A bit lighter, which I appreciated.
