Delicious!! My husband and I loved it.
Question, what cauliflower rice do you use? And if you don’t use frozen, do you cook it before you add it?
Sarah Madole says
Do you use frozen cauliflower rice? If so, do you thaw it or cook it first? Thank you!
jenniferbanz says
If I use frozen I thaw it first but I cook it as the recipe instructs.

Tried these tonight for dinner...delicious! Omitted the mushrooms and substituted a plant based burger that had been smoked on the grill. First time using riced califlower and I was pleasantly surprised. Anxious to try more keto recipes! Thank you.

Are the nutritional facts for one half of a pepper or 2 half peppers?
jenniferbanz says
Each stuffed pepper is a whole pepper so each serving is for the whole peppers stuffed
