Weeknight Low-Carb Stuffed Bell Peppers

"I have been making this recipe for 25 years but I have never written it down. I got the recipe from my best friends mother in law. I religiously made it exactly as she had given it to me. I ran into her a few years ago and told her how I had made her recipe all these years. She told me she never puts the same ingredients in twice. She just uses what she has on hand. LOL."

  1. Ta dahhh! These peppers were so flavorful - even my 14yo DS gobbled them up! I used half a pound of meat since there was only three of us and pre-cooked/crumbled bacon. The chili powder is what really makes this dish shine! Instead of parboiling the peppers, I broiled them for a few minutes upside down until they were just starting to blacken, then flipped, filled and baked at 350 for 15 minutes, turned out just right without heating the kitchen for tooo long on this hot summer night.
     
  2. These were wonderful and so different than the usual stuffed peppers I make. My spouse raved about them! The addition of the bacon was a revelation. I served them on a bed of Mexican rice and it was perfectly satisfying and filling. I will use this again--often.
     
  3. Tried this one last night, doubled the recipe as instructed and it was a hit with the family! I'm new to the cooking world as I'm learning to walk and talk again after a stroke, but so far, good. I used a custom blend of Montreal Steak Seasoning in lieu of salt and pepper. Great recipe for those who have to watch carb intake and the chile powder really does add just the right touch.
     
  4. What an awesome recipe, I made it for my wife and daughter and they loved it. I was thinking my daughter would hem and haw and not want to eat it but she ate every bite of it.
     
  5. Just made these and the fam loved them! So glad I doubled the recipe! Love the non-rice style of stuffed peppers.
