Ingredients

4 large bell peppers see Notes

Trim approximately ¼-inch from top of bell peppers, then remove stems, ribs, and seeds.
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add in the ground beef, Italian seasoning, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder. Break up beef with a wooden spoon while cooking until browned, about 5 minutes.
Add in tomato paste and cauliflower rice. Cook for about 3 minutes before removing from heat and stuffing peppers with beef mixture.

Bake for 30 minutes covered, then remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Top with fresh chopped parsley and serve.

Notes

Bell Peppers: Any color peppers will work in this recipe, but green peppers have the fewest carbs, so keep that in mind if you're strict keto!
Freshly Shredded Cheddar Cheese: Be sure to purchase a block of cheese and shred it yourself for this recipe. Pre-shredded cheeses have unnecessary fillers and carbs in them that won't work in this keto recipe!
