So many people I know are switching to a low carb or keto lifestyle and I see some of them struggling to keep variety in their menus. Others are having trouble finding family-friendly recipe options or recipes that are easy to make with familiar flavors!

LOW CARB STUFFED PEPPERS RECIPE
I love stuffed peppers. I don’t what it is about them but whenever I get a chance to have them for dinner, I’m on it. Crockpot Stuffed Peppers with uncooked rice is one of my favorite ways to make them because it’s super easy!
But when I saw my friends looking for recipes to broaden their low carb options, I knew that stuffed green peppers could be changed into a more keto stuffed peppers recipe.
So with a few tweaks, these stuffed peppers without rice fit the bill. Plus, they’re still super easy to make!
