Keto Sausage Stuffed Peppers

Ingredients

• Bell peppers (4 (any color))
• Ground sausage (1 pound)
• Onion (1 medium, diced)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Cauliflower rice (2 cups)
• Tomato sauce (1 cup)
• Italian seasoning (1 tablespoon)
• Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
• Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
• Shredded mozzarella cheese (1 cup)
• Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the bell peppers by cutting off the tops and removing the seeds and membranes. Set aside.
3. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a plate and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
5. Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until slightly tender.
6. Stir in the cooked sausage, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
7. Fill each bell pepper generously with the sausage mixture and place them upright in a baking dish.
8. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
9. Remove the foil, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of each stuffed pepper, and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your delicious, low-carb meal!
