    • 1 lb ground beef (500g)
    • 2 eggs
    • 1 medium onion (Finely chopped)
    • 2 celery stalks
    • ½ cup shredded cheese (We prefer gouda or medium cheddar)
    • ¼ cup parmesan cheese
    • ¼ cup almond flour
    • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 tablespoon coconut aminos (Can use soy sauce as well)
    • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
    • 1 teaspoon chili powder (Mexican mild chili powder)

    • 4 bell peppers (Sliced in half, ribs and seeds removed)
    • 8 bacon strips
    • 1 cup ketchup

    Tips and Tricks:

    1. The bacon strips are completely optional and the recipe works perfectly fine without it – it does add an extra layer of yumminess though.
    2. Be sure to use ketchup compliant to your personal diet requirements. For low-carb, keto, paleo and whole 30 approved ketchup – we use our own personal recipe. Find it here.

      Thanks! My fiancé is an amazing cook but me, not so much! I made this today for dinner so he didn’t have to cook. It was great! Easy enough for this inexperienced cook and tasty enough for his experienced taste buds! I added A super reduced balasmic on top since we use it for Caprese salad and it baked onto The chicken really well. This recipe is a keeper! Any idea for a balsamic Like sauce to go with it?

      I make it with whole peppers and use Sweet Baby Rays sugar free Barbecue sauce. I reduce heat to 375 and add 40 minutes. I do temp check them to make sure they are at 160F. They are my sons favorite. They also reheat in the air fryer wonderfully. I normally make 8 to 12 so there are leftovers.Yummmmm! Thank you for the Great Recipe.

      I saw a 1lb meatloaf sale at the grocery store, bought 2 of them so I could use up some bell peppers quickly tonight. Had precooked bacon in the freezer from an event earlier this month. Excited to see how this turns out!

        I am sure it turned out. I have used store bought and other meatloaf recipes and they have all turned out great.

      Hello – I was looking for clarification on the serving size. It looks like there are 8 half peppers and it is for 6 servings. Is that correct? So, 1 full half stuffed pepper with a third of another half? Thanks!

        Hi, I have it as 6 servings on average based on what I see when I serve it to family. But honestly, it will depend on how much your family eats per person in the end. We serve 4 adults and 2 kids and there’s always one or two half peppers left over.

      How long do you cook if using whole peppers?

        Hi Sheila! It’s so hard to answer this. I would assume that you would need to add at least 20-30 minutes on top, but I really can’t be sure unless I test it myself first.
        I usually try hard to keep recipes as short as possible and would definitely recommend you prepare them cut in half as recipe requires. Once I find time to do a recipe test with whole peppers, I will update the recipe card with my findings.
