Ingredients

For the Meatloaf Stuffing

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)
2 teaspoon salt (We use course salt, so use less if you’re using fine table salt)
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

For the rest:

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

Instructions

Turn on the oven to 400F/200C
Mix all the ingredients for the ground beef in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
Wash the bell peppers and then slice them in half. Use a spoon to carefully scrape out the ribs and seeds. Remove the entire stem area of the top half as well.
Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of ketchup on the inside of each pepper.
Add 2 strips of bacon to each pepper. (See process shot above)
Divide the beef stuffing evenly between the peppers.
Fold the bacon over top of the ground beef.
Spread approximately 1 tablespoon on ketchup over the top of the bacon and ground beef.
Put the peppers into a sheet pan or oven dish and slide into the oven for 45 minutes.
The stuffed peppers are done when they reach an internal temperature of 160F/70C.

Notes

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.
