Keto Lasagna-Style Stuffed Peppers

This delicious recipe is a beautiful twist to your regular Keto Italian stuffed peppers. They combine wonderful flavors of lasagna and juicy peppers for a fantastic lunch or dinner you can enjoy with your loved ones. This recipe is also an excellent way to add some authentic Italian flavors to your Keto recipes. Although it takes some extra time to prepare, this flavorsome dish is well worth it! We prepared homemade Keto marinara sauce for this recipe, but you can use your favorite store-bought brand to save some time. You can also add some extra cheese on top and garnish everything with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy!

What kind of meat to use?

For this recipe, we used ground beef. You can substitute it with ground pork or combine the beef with pork.

How do you store the leftovers?

Store the leftovers in airtight containers and refrigerate for a few days. Gently reheat in a microwave or your oven.

Serving suggestions

These colorful Italian stuffed peppers pair perfectly with mashed cauliflower or zucchini noodles. You can also top them with some Greek yogurt or sour cream right before serving.

How do you customize this recipe?

You can customize this recipe by adding your favorite fresh or dried herbs. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few drops of hot sauce to the marinara (this is not a traditional way to prepare the marinara sauce, but it tastes fantastic). As mentioned above, you can substitute the beef with the same amount of ground pork or combine the two. You can add some extra ricotta cheese for a creamier version of this dish. If you decide to customize the recipe, remember to log the ingredients separately.

Red, green or yellow? Which peppers to use?

We used red, green, and yellow bell peppers to make this dish more colorful. However, depending on the color of your bell peppers, the carb content will differ slightly. However, all bell peppers are considered low-carb, and you can enjoy them while doing Keto.
