Ingredients in low carb lasagna stuffed peppers
- Bell Peppers: I like to use a variety of bell peppers - yellow, orange, red, and green. But you can use all of one color, or any combination of colors that you prefer. (Try these Supreme Pizza Stuffed Peppers)
- Tomato Sauce: For these keto lasagna stuffed peppers, I use my homemade Tomato Meat Sauce as the base. For a quicker version, you can use a jarred marinara sauce and mix in some cooked ground beef. They are also delicious made with my Pesto Marinara Sauce.
- Cheeses: For the cheeses in this recipe, I used full-fat ricotta cheese, mozzarella and parmesan.

Is there a way to make these vegetarian? Any good veggies to add that would work with the recipe?
Peace Love and Low Carb says
You can just omit the meat and it would still be really tasty. Add your favorite low carb veggies instead

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!

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.

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!

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.
Linda says
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!
