Ingredients

4 large bell peppers (any color)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground beef (80/20 or 85/15)
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup riced cauliflower
1/2 cup no-sugar-added tomato sauce
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup beef broth
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Method

1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the peppers upright.

2

Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Place the pepper halves cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.

3

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat.

4

Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the onion is softened.

5

Stir in the riced cauliflower, no-sugar-added tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6

Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing some of the liquid to absorb.

7

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese.

8

Spoon the beef and cauliflower mixture evenly into each bell pepper half.

9

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

10

Remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese over the stuffed peppers, and bake uncovered for another 10-15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

11

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
