- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
- Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes from the inside. Rinse the peppers and pat them dry.
- In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until they become translucent.
- Add the ground beef or turkey to the skillet and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the drained diced tomatoes, cauliflower rice (or cooked quinoa), Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for a few more minutes until heated through.
- Fill each bell pepper with the meat mixture, pressing it down gently. Place the stuffed peppers in the prepared baking dish.
- Cover the peppers with foil and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the peppers are tender.
- Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese (or any preferred keto-friendly cheese) on top of each pepper, and return them to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once done, remove the stuffed bell peppers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or basil if desired before serving.
