Almost every culture has a form of stuffed peppers. The Hungarian version is made with wax peppers, and the filling can vary. This recipe is made with ground beef, strongly seasoned with paprika, cabbage, and cauliflower rice (instead of traditional white rice). While this Keto recipe may stray from traditional Hungarian cuisine, it makes for a delicious lunch or dinner!

Ingredients

  • 8 ounce hamburger or ground beef, 80% lean
  • ½ cup, cut pieces cauliflower rice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ tablespoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ cup beef broth

  • 4 peppers sweet banana wax peppers by mezzetta

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 360 degrees. In a shallow skillet, combine the ground beef, cauliflower rice, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Cook the ingredients on high heat until the beef is cooked through.
  2. Stir in the cabbage and beef broth. Continue cooking the skillet on high heat until the liquid is absorbed and the beef has browned slightly.
  3. Prepare the wax peppers by removing the tops and hollowing out the centers.
  4. Spoon the cooked filling into each pepper. Gently pack the peppers and fill them as much as possible. Arrange the stuffed peppers in an oven-safe baking dish. Spoon any remaining filling in the skillet over the peppers.
  5. Cover the baking dish with foil, and bake for 40 minutes until the peppers are soft and cooked through. Enjoy!
