Ingredients

  • 6 large green bell peppers
  • 2 1/3 pounds ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 teaspoons spaghetti sauce
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 3 cups spaghetti sauce

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut the tops off of the peppers and clean out the seeds. Set aside. 6 large green bell peppers
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the ground sirloin, garlic salt, Italian seasoning, basil, pepper, spaghetti sauce, egg and almond flour. 2 1/3 pounds ground beef, 1 teaspoon garlic salt, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 3 teaspoons spaghetti sauce, 1 large egg, 1/4 cup almond flour
  3. Stuff the ground sirloin mixture into the cleaned green peppers. If there is any extra meat mixture, form it into a loaf. You can slow cook the extra loaf along with the green peppers or you can bake it in the oven, if desired.
  4. Place the stuffed peppers in the slow cooker and top each pepper with 1/4 cup additional spaghetti sauce. 3 cups spaghetti sauce
  5. Allow the peppers to cook for 4-5 hours on high, or 6-8 hours on low. The internal temperature of the stuffed peppers should be 165ºF.
  6. Serve over cauliflower rice and top with spaghetti sauce. Top with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Our package of ground sirloin was 2 1/3 pounds. If you use an even two pounds of meat, the recipe should still turn out. If your peppers are on the smaller side, you'll end up with leftover meat mixture. Make this into a small meatloaf and cook it along with the peppers. You could also use the extra meat to make meatballs.
  • Don't want to use a slow cooker? Bake the paleo stuffed peppers in a baking dish in the oven. They'll take 60-90 minutes to bake, depending on how big the peppers are.
