Enjoy the flavors of lasagna without the noodles. Keto lasagna stuffed peppers are perfect as a side dish or the main course.
Lasagna Stuffed Peppers
What is your favorite thing about lasagna? For me, it is the layers of three different types of cheese with Italian seasonings and marinara sauce.
Thankfully, you don’t have to give up your favorite foods when you follow a keto diet, you just have to find low-carb ways to cook them.
These keto lasagna stuffed peppers have 7 grams net carbs in each pepper, so be careful with how many of them you eat. Trust me, one half of a stuffed pepper will definitely fill you up!
Keto Stuffed Peppers
What is your favorite type of pepper to stuff? Bell peppers are the most common type to use, and that’s what I used in this stuffed peppers recipe.
You don’t have to use green bell peppers, feel free to use any color you like. They all have the same nutrition and amount of carbs.
If you want them to be spicier, you can even make them in jalapeno or poblano peppers.
Keto Lasagna
I’m a huge fan of lasagna! There are so many keto-friendly wants to prepare it. I’ve made keto lasagna stuffed sausage, keto lasagna roll ups, and even keto eggplant lasagna.
Or use all these flavors and ingredients and make a keto lasagna soup.
I think the stuffed peppers are a lot of fun to eat and give you more flavors, so it’s one of my favorites!
What To Eat With Stuffed Peppers
I like to eat these stuffed peppers for a light lunch. Peppers, tons of cheese, and sausage all give me everything I need to eat a filling lunch. I don’t really eat much with them when I eat them for lunch.
If you want to serve them for dinner, then maybe serve them with low-carb bell pepper nachos. That will give you all the fiber and nutrition you need.
These stuffed peppers also make the perfect appetizer! Serve them with some keto bacon wrapped cabbage and some keto chili lime tortilla chips. That’s everything you need for a fun dinner with friends.
Of course, since they taste like lasagna, you’ve got to serve them with some keto garlic knots and a bowl of copycat Olive Garden salad. Now you’re Italian dinner is served!
Easy Keto Dinner
Since these stuffed peppers are made with four different types of cheese, they are incredibly filling. You don’t need to add very many sides to the table to make a complete meal.
Honestly, I like to just make a simple chopped salad and eat one of the stuffed peppers. That’s a very filling and comforting meal.
