I made this for a family party and it was delicious.I also used some portobellos. Great also. Thanks so much for the recipe. Love your site.
No problem. I’m so happy you enjoyed it.
I thought of these in my head and decided to look and see if anyone had made them before, and sure enough, here they are! Love it! I made them last night and my hubby ate 4! I used my own meat sauce recipe and layered them just how you said, and they came out beautifully. I think they tasted even better today for lunch. Thanks for doing all the hard work and posting the awesome pic’s!
I’m happy you liked them. Thanks for taking the time to let me know 🙂
Very, very good! Mine looked exactly like the picture, which hardly ever happens the first time with a new recipe! Thanks for sharing 🙂
These were wonderful!! Can you freeze left overs?
It was my husbands night to cook last night, and I showed him this recipe so he made it! I came home to them being taken out of the oven, and they were FANTASTIC. I wouldn’t make a single change (other than maybe adding sauteed mushrooms just cause I’m a mushroom whore), thanks for the recipe!
Is “net carbs” an accurate measurement? Are you simply using carbs minus fiber to get that number? Wouldn’t it be be more accurate to just post the total carbs, and then fiber, as “net carbs” is not really an accepted nutritional value.
None the less, many great recipes!
These are absolutely fantastic. You definitely don’t miss the noodles. I used red bells (which I already had), added turkey sausage sprinkles. Used Pepper Jack, because that’s all I had on hand. I did find out that leaving the stems in holds the sauce in better. They are wonderful reheated. Will make these at least once a week. Thanks for something else wonderful.
Hey, I’ve bought/downloaded your cookbooks. Can’t find which book this stuffed pepper recipe is in. I’m going to make it tonight and it looks soooo good. Was hoping to be able to keep it handy!
Hi Kymberly, This one has not been published in any of my books. If you scroll to the bottom of my posts, you will see a share bar (Pinterest, FB, twitter, etc.) Click on the button on the far right of that bar and it brings up about 300 other options. There is a print-friendly button in there that will allow you to remove photos and any unwanted stuff so that you can print the recipe without wasting too much ink. I hope you enjoy it. 🙂
I made these in an attempt to eat healthier and hoped my family would join me. They all tried it and loved it!! They do not like peppers but really liked them made this way. Thanks for sharing!!
I’m so happy that it turned out to be a dish the whole family can love. I used my pepperoni pizza stuffed peppers recipe to get my kids to start eating peppers. Worked like a charm!
Made these last night and just had the leftovers for lunch, I swaer they tasted better today!!! Just wish there was more!!! Will def use this recipe again and again!!!!! DELICIOUS!!!! 🙂
Kyndra, this has been on my list to make for the past year and all I have to say is why did I wait so long. . Made them last night and they are soooo delicious! Had to hold myself back to get a 3rd one but was excited to know what my lunch was today, haha. I have been raving about your meat sauce too. I will never go back to jar again. Thank you for this awesome recipe!!
WHAT IS IN YOUR MEAT SAUCE????
Click the link and it will take you to the recipe.
Having so much cheese and meat layers with nothing else didn’t really appeal to me so I sliced some zucchini to layer between the meat sauce and cheese. Delicious!
Super easy, very tasty!!! I halved the recipe because I am only feeding 2 and it was perfect!!! Cant wait to heat up the leftovers
Made these for my family and it was such a nice change from regular stuffed peppers. Very tasty. Thanks:)
I made this last night for supper. It was DELICIOUS! I used my own canned pasta sauce and added it to 1# browned ground beef (seasoned in olive oil with onions and garlic salt). The assorted sweet peppers came fresh from my garden. I cannot believe such an easy recipe could taste so dang good! And low carb to boot. This will be made again. Soon.
I made these for supper for the second time tonight. We had canned while tomatoes so I used those and bought fresh yellow, red and orange peppers from a farm. Tonight was no different than the first time I made the recipe. THEY ARE SO YUMMY!!!!! I also love the meat sauce for the recipe. I now make it, vacuum seal it and keep some in the feeezer. I am definitely buying your cookbook because I have tried so many of your recipes and they are wonderful. What a gift you have!
Thanks for a great idea. I think I could do these with enchilada sauce and cheddar cheese, too. Maybe add cauliflour rice. I know there are other variations. My biggest problem is hubby does not like peppers, but he will like the filling so I can make this work.
Excellent! For the sauce, I used a half ground beef, half sausage mixed in jarred garden vegetable pasta sauce. It tasted like Supreme Pizza! Wonderful! Thank you!
Is there a way to make these vegetarian? Any good veggies to add that would work with the recipe?
You can just omit the meat and it would still be really tasty. Add your favorite low carb veggies instead
I made these for the first time last night for my family, including my niece, and they LOVED them!! My son said this my be one of the best recipes I have found on Pinterest & that we definitely have to make these again! Thank you for sharing 😊
