My Personal Experience

I’ve always been a pizza lover, and going keto meant finding creative ways to enjoy those flavors without the carbs.

Required Equipment

Baking Dish

A sturdy baking dish is essential to keep the peppers upright while they bake. It also helps distribute heat evenly, ensuring everything cooks perfectly.

Skillet

You’ll need a skillet to cook the sausage and sauté the veggies before stuffing the peppers. A good non-stick or cast-iron skillet makes the job easier.

Knife & Cutting Board

A sharp knife makes slicing the bell peppers and chopping toppings much quicker. A sturdy cutting board helps keep everything organized.

Mixing Bowl

A mixing bowl is useful for combining the cooked sausage, cheese, sauce, and toppings before stuffing the peppers.

Ingredients & Substitutions

• 4 large bell peppers (any color) – The base of the recipe. Red, yellow, and orange are slightly sweeter, while green has a more classic pepper flavor.
• 1 lb ground Italian sausage – Adds rich, savory flavor. You can also use ground beef, turkey, or even chorizo for a spicy kick.
• 1/2 cup marinara sauce (sugar-free) – A must for that pizza taste. Be sure to pick a keto-friendly brand or make your own.
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder – Enhances the flavor. You can substitute with fresh minced garlic.
• 1/2 tsp onion powder – Adds depth without the carbs.
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano – Classic pizza seasoning. Italian seasoning works too.
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese – The melty, gooey cheese layer. You can mix in provolone or cheddar for variety.
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese – Adds a salty, nutty flavor that pairs well with the toppings.
• 1/2 cup chopped pepperoni – Brings that true pizza taste. Turkey pepperoni is a lower-fat alternative.
• 1/2 cup sliced black olives – Optional, but adds great flavor.
• 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms – A classic supreme pizza topping.
• 1/4 cup diced green bell peppers – Extra crunch and color.
• Salt & pepper to taste

How to Make Keto Supreme Pizza Stuffed Peppers

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the bell peppers in half and remove the seeds and membranes. Place them in a baking dish, cut side up.
2. Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess grease, then stir in the marinara sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Simmer for 2 minutes.
3. Mix in half of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, plus the chopped pepperoni, olives, mushrooms, and diced green peppers. Stir well to combine.
4. Spoon the mixture evenly into each bell pepper half. Top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
5. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
6. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Tips for This Recipe

• Use firmer bell peppers to help them hold their shape while baking.
• If you like softer peppers, pre-bake them for 10 minutes before stuffing.
• Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if you like a little heat.
• Leftovers taste great the next day—just reheat them in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes.

Optional Additions

• Crumbled bacon for extra flavor
• Chopped jalapeños for heat
• Different cheeses like provolone or cheddar for variety

Serving Ideas

These stuffed peppers pair perfectly with a simple keto side salad, roasted veggies, or even cauliflower rice. They also make a great meal prep option—just store them in the fridge and heat them up when needed!

Storage Recommendations

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warm or microwave in short bursts.
