A Must-Try Low-Carb, Keto-Friendly Recipe for Burger Lovers!
Ingredients:
4 large bell peppers (red, green, or yellow – whichever you prefer!)
1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey for a healthier option)
1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
1/2 cup BBQ sauce (choose low-sugar BBQ sauce for a healthier twist)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup diced mushrooms
1/4 cup diced onions
1/4 cup diced pickles
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish
Directions:
1. Preheat Oven – Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) for perfectly cooked stuffed peppers.
2. Prepare the Peppers – Cut the tops off the bell peppers, remove the seeds, and hollow them out. This creates a vessel for the delicious filling.
3. Cook the Ground Beef – In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.
4. Add Mushrooms & Onions – Stir in the diced mushrooms and onions, cooking for 2-3 minutes until softened. This adds great flavor and texture to the filling.
5. Mix in BBQ Sauce and Bacon – Add your BBQ sauce, crumbled bacon, and diced pickles to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper for the ultimate burger-inspired flavor.
6. Stuff the Peppers – Generously fill each bell pepper with the savory beef mixture. Top with shredded cheddar cheese for that ooey-gooey cheeseburger effect.
7. Bake to Perfection – Place your stuffed peppers in a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for 25-30 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted.
8. Garnish and Serve – Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
