You guys I am a liar. I told you I would have this recipe for these stuffed peppers for you last week and that just didn’t happen. Don’t hate me! Trust me, they are well worth the wait! These stuffed peppers are bursting with flavour and topped with my Avocado Creme Sauce they taste even better! Serving these stuffed peppers for dinner will make your whole family happy.

Stuffed peppers were a foreign concept for me until recently. I’m not sure why I neglected to make them for so long because they are so darn delicious! They’re also surprisingly easy to make. I honestly think that’s the reason I had never tried making them until recently. They intimidated me! But don’t make my mistake. Don’t let stuffed peppers frighten you.

Why These Easy Stuffed Peppers Are So Good:

They are bursting with flavour!
They are really easy to make
They don’t require any complicated or hard to find ingredients
They make great leftovers
They are filled with healthy ingredients like grass fed ground beef and vegetables
They are naturally gluten free, paleo, Whole30, keto and low carb

How to Make Easy Stuffed Peppers:

To make these stuffed peppers, first you are going to cook the beef filling. Start by preheating your oven to 350F. While your oven is heating, place a medium pan on the stove on medium heat. Add the coconut oil (or other cooking oil of choice) and allow it to melt. You will then add the chopped onion to the pan and allow it to cook for a few minutes. Then add some chopped bell peppers and cook the onions and peppers together until the onions are translucent. Next add the grass fed ground beef, tomatoes and spices to the pan and cook until the meat is done and the tomatoes are cooked.

Next place your cut peppers on a baking sheet, face up and sprinkle them with sea salt. Then transfer the beef filling into each pepper. Then place the baking sheet in the oven and cook for 30-40 minutes. I actually prefer the beef crisp (as you can tell by the photos) so I cook them a bit longer, but cook them until they reach the consistency you like. Then serve and enjoy!

Variations On These Easy Stuffed Peppers:

Make them with chicken instead of beef
Top them with salsa (my Simple Mango Salsa would be a great option)
Top them with my Avocado Crème
Top with fresh cilantro or green onion
