    Unstuffed Pepper Casserole

    Love stuffed peppers like I do? This hearty casserole dish takes all the flavors you love about stuffed peppers but without all the messy prep! Hearty meal-prep or perfect dish for the whole family, either way your can’t go wrong with this meaty casserole!

    This dish really is a complete meal with all of the vegetables.  I like to finish off the meal with a keto chocolate chip cookie or almond butter cookie!

    stuffed pepper casserole

    I love the flavor of stuffed peppers but they require a lot of work and the ratio of pepper to meat is just too much pepper.  I love how this casserole is full of protein but still has lots of veggies.

    How would it feel to start losing with keto?

    This recipe really couldn’t be more simple.  I love the combo of the ground beef and the Italian sausage for extra spice.

    Recipe Tips and Notes

    • You can use any color bell pepper you like.  I really like green but sweet bell peppers would also be great.
    • Use frozen chopped vegetables to make this recipe even easier.
    • Divide this unstuffed pepper casserole into meal prep containers for easy meal prep

      Normally when I make stuffed bell peppers, the kids just eat the filling and leave the pepper. Made this and kids ate everything on their plate and asked for seconds. The only thing I changed was adding one more bell pepper (I did one of each color) and I used a little less cheese. This will be added to my regular rotation!
