Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion diced
2 cloves garlic minced
1-2 cups ground beef I used vegan crumbles * See notes
1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 cups riced cauliflower
1-2 cups shredded cheese of choice dairy free, if needed
4 large bell peppers

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a large baking dish with parchment paper.
Slice the tops of the bell peppers off, and de-seed them, and remove excess membranes. Slice each bell pepper in half and place them in the lined dish.
In a large non-stick pan, heat up your olive oil on medium. When hot, add your onions and garlic and sauteed, for around one minute,. Add your crumbled ground beef (or plant based substitute) and mix well, for 4-5 minutes, until mostly cooked. Add in your soy sauce, salt, pepper, and riced cauliflower. Fry for an extra 2-3 minutes, until cooked through. Remove excess liquid and transfer to a large bowl. Mix through half the shredded cheese.
Distribute the cauliflower rice mixture amongst the halved bell peppers. Sprinkle your extra cheese on top.
Bake the stuffed peppers for 20-25 minutes, or until the bell peppers begin to brown and the cheese has melted. Remove from the oven and serve.
