Pizza Stuffed Peppers Recipe

All the goodness of pizza without a crust and some extra green peppers is how yummy this easy dinner idea tastes to me!

I love all of the pizza inspired meals like our Crock Pot Pizza Casserole, Stromboli and Pizza Sliders. Our low carb stuffed pizza peppers are a combo of these flavors and our popular Sausage & Cream Cheese Stuffed Bell Peppers.

Common ingredients ground beef, Italian sausage, pizza sauce, cream cheese, cheddar, mozzarella, pepperoni, onions and olives taste so good inside green bell peppers!

We love the more dynamic flavors that come with mixing ground beef and sausage with spices. Meat is the most prominent flavor and then you can pretty well mix-in any other ingredients that sound good!

More great low-carb recipes that are loaded with flavor include our Crock Pot Cauliflower Recipe, Salami Roll-Ups, and Kielbasa & Sauerkraut.

What Can Be Mixed In To Stuffed Pizza Peppers?

• 1 cup of cooked rice or cooked and chopped spaghetti mix in to make the meal more filling. About 1/4 to 1/2 cup of more sauce is necessary when adding starches or carbs.
• Diced tomatoes, when I have extra from the garden I love mixing them in.
• Chopped up mushrooms can be used in addition to OR in place of some of the meat.
• Parmesan cheese can be stirred in or sprinkled on top before adding mozzarella cheese.
• Marinara sauce or a sweeter sauce can help offset the green, grassy flavor of the bell pepper.

Ingredients Needed:

• Ground beef
• Italian sausage
• Onion
• Pizza sauce
• Cream cheese
• Cheddar cheese
• Mozzarella cheese
• Olives
• Sliced pepperoni

How to Make Keto Pizza Stuffed Peppers

Brown meat in a large skillet over medium high heat. Drain any extra grease.

Return skillet to the burner and turn to medium heat. Add chopped onions and stir until softened.

Stir in the pizza sauce.

Then cut cream cheese into blocks or strips. Stir well until the cream cheese is softened and there’s an even mixture.

Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the top.

Stir once more and then spoon into bell peppers.

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the meat filling.

Then top with pepperoni and olives.

Cover with foil for the first 20 – 30 minutes of baking. This allows the cheese to melt and peppers to begin softening.

Remove foil for the last 10 – 15 minutes to allow cheese and peppers to brown a bit on the edges.

Recipe Tips & Tricks

• Red, yellow or orange bell peppers make the meal is little sweeter and milder than the green peppers.
• Mini peppers can be used, but sub mini pepperonis.
• I like to cut pepper in half to save time filling and baking, but coring and filling an entire bell pepper is also an option.
• 350°F is a safer temperature to bake at to avoid burning. 375°F will decrease cooking time about 5 – 10 minutes if you’re in a hurry to eat!
• Keep peppers in an even layer with an equal amount of space between them to help bake evenly.

Crock Pot Option

These pizza stuffed peppers can also be made in the crock pot on low for two to three hours to soften the pepper and allow the flavors to all cook together.
