Keto Stuffed Peppers with Meat (No Rice)

What it is
Bell peppers typically stuffed with a mixture of minced meat and rice, then baked in a tomato sauce. This keto version replaces rice with more meat and/or finely chopped low-carb vegetables.
Key ingredients
Bell peppers, minced beef/pork (or mixed), onion, garlic, eggs (as binder), herbs (paprika, parsley), tomato passata (sugar-free), olive oil, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request no rice in the stuffing. Confirm the tomato sauce has no added sugar.
Watch out for
Rice is a fundamental component of the traditional dish; explicit omission is vital. Tomato sauce can contain hidden sugars. Bell peppers themselves contribute moderate carbs.
