Stuffed peppers are a classic for a reason — they're basically a full dinner packed into their own edible bowl — and this version swaps the usual rice filling for cauliflower rice to keep things low-carb.

Browning the beef with onion, garlic, and Italian seasoning before it goes into the peppers builds a lot of flavor upfront, and using cauliflower rice instead of grain keeps this dish fitting neatly into a keto diet. Baking covered first keeps the peppers tender, then finishing uncovered lets the cheese on top turn golden and bubbly. Let them rest a few minutes out of the oven before digging in.
