Pimientos Rellenos de Carne (Estilo Keto)
Keto Stuffed Bell Peppers with Ground Beef
Yes, with a tweak: ensure the ground beef filling contains no rice, potatoes, or raisins. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Cuban food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Bright bell peppers are roasted until tender, then filled with a savory mixture of seasoned ground beef (picadillo-style, but without rice), aromatic vegetables, and a touch of tomato. A hearty and satisfying keto meal.
Key ingredients
Bell peppers, ground beef, onions, garlic, tomato
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure the ground beef filling contains no rice, potatoes, or raisins. Request minimal tomato paste to keep carb count low. Confirm no breadcrumbs or other carb-heavy binders.
Watch out for
Rice or potatoes in the stuffing, excessive tomato paste, or hidden sugars in seasoning mixes.
