Pimiento Relleno de Carne (Keto)
Stuffed Bell Pepper with Ground Beef (Keto)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm no rice or potato in the filling. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A modified version of traditional stuffed peppers, featuring a bell pepper filled with seasoned ground beef and often cheese, prepared without breading or sugary sauces to be keto-friendly.
Key ingredients
Bell peppers, ground beef, onion, garlic, tomato (minimal for flavor, not sauce), herbs (e.g., mint, hierbabuena), salt, pepper, cheese (optional), cooking oil.
How to make it keto
Confirm no rice or potato in the filling. Crucially, ask for no breading (traditional Chiles Rellenos are often egg-battered which is usually fine, but confirm no flour or breadcrumbs). Request no sugary tomato sauce on top.
Watch out for
Rice/potato fillers in stuffing, sugary tomato sauce, flour-based breading (if used, though traditional is often egg-based, always confirm).
