Filled with southwest seasonings and full of cheeses, these will be your favorite stuffed peppers too. You don't have to eat low carb to enjoy every bite of these.

How To Make keto southwest stuffed peppers
-
Step 1Parboil Peppers: Cut very tops off peppers and scoop out seeds and membranes. In a 3 qt. pot w/lid, boil 2-in. salted water, turn down to med. heat and cook peppers, bottom side down in water, 5-7 minutes, only until just beginning to turn soft and still bright green. Drain water and place in large cast iron skillet.
-
Step 2Make Beef Filling: In large skillet over med. high heat, brown beef with onion, breaking ground beef into pieces with wooden spoon. Add mild chilis and all seasonings until beef is cooked thoroughly. Drain and leave in skillet.

Step 3Fill Peppers: Divide cheddar cheese into half and fill bottoms of peppers with first half. Spoon half of beef mixture over cheese. Add remaining cheddar cheese; Top with remaining meat. Top with pepperjack or mozzarella cheese. Place back into cast iron skillet.

Step 4I cook mine on the grill outside in the cast iron skillet, uncovered just long enough to melt cheeses, about 10 minutes on top rack. You can also cook in a preheated 375 degree oven 10-12 minutes, until top is bubbly.
