"Have always loved stuffed peppers so no surprise I loved this one. What did surprise me was finding it was made with cauliflower rice! I was so impressed, requested the recipe and it has seen many the making since. I like using a combination of peppers which make for great presentation. Love the flavor of green peppers so always use at least one green along the the colored."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350, baking dish according to the size of your peppers, spray with cooking oil.

Step 2

Prepare cauliflower rice, blitz cauliflower chunks finely in a food processor until rice size pieces or hand grate, set aside.

Step 3

Cut tops off peppers, discard seeds and membranes; chop enough of the tops to make for 1/4 – 1/2 cup set aside.

Step 4

In a skillet cook beef, onions and chopped pepper until meat is almost browned about 5 – 7 minutes.

Step 5

Drain off excess fat, add cauliflower rice and cook another 3 – 5 minutes.

Step 6

Add diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper, simmer a few minutes to reduce some of the liquid, stir in cheese.

Step 7

Stuff peppers and place in baking dish. Bake covered for 35 – 45 minutes or until peppers are cooked and soft.

Step 8

NOTE, garlic lovers may wish to add garlic, I often add tomato soup or tomato sauce to baking dish along with the leftover chunks of pepper tops. Great for those who love to drizzle tomato sauce over their peppers.

I did a half recipe and filled two huge capsicums/bell peppers and still had 1 cup of filling left. I also used frozen cauliflower rice (commercial packet) that I had on hand so it was a very quick and easy meal to bring together. I enjoyed one for dinner and had the other for lunch today. Thank you Gerry, made for What's On The Menu tag game at FF&F.

Great alternative to using rice. Loved the cauliflower. I substituted mild Ro-Tel tomatoes for the diced. Gave it lots of added flavor. I cut the recipe in half also and used just green peppers. Loved the peppers and will make them again! Thank you for sharing this great weight watching recipe Gerry! Linda

I made this with a bag of mixed yellow, orange, red and green bell peppers and cheated using a bag of prepared cauliflower rice. I topped the cooked stuffed peppers up with a jar of classico bruschetta mix and WOW, this made for a fantastic meal Gerry!! Thx for sharing this recipe here.
