Prep
Preheat oven to 350° F. Assemble ingredients. Wash peppers. Slice peppers lengthwise in half through the middle and remove the seeds.

Common Questions About Italian Stuffed Peppers
|What Sides Go With Stuffed Peppers?
Steamed broccoli or a salad with a low carb or keto-approved salad dressing go really well with these lasagna stuffed peppers.
Of course, if you have non-keto followers and carb lover’s in your house serve with a side of pasta marinara. This will make everyone in your family happy.
|How Do I Reheat Stuffed Peppers?
You can reheat stuffed peppers in the oven, by covering them with foil and baking at 350° F until warm inside. An alternative is warming in the microwave oven.
|Should I boil my peppers before stuffing them?
To reduce the baking time, you can boil peppers before stuffing them or you can steam in the microwave for 10 minutes. Make sure to slice your peppers in half and take the seeds out, per the recipe instructions.
I like steaming in the microwave because it is quicker and hands-off which makes my life easier.
|Can You Freeze Stuffed Peppers?
You can freeze stuffed peppers. My preferred method is to make the recipe first – stuffing and baking the peppers, then freezing in airtight containers. Thaw and bake until heated through at 350° F
Freeze them individually for the perfect make-ahead lunch or single-serving dinner!
|How Long Will Stuffed Peppers Keep In The Fridge?
Stuffed peppers will keep in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
|How Long Can You Freeze Peppers?
Peppers can be frozen up to 8 months, but I prefer to use stuffed peppers within 3 to 6 months.
|How Long Do Stuffed Peppers Take To Cook?
This recipe takes anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes to bake, but the bell peppers are steamed in advance while I’m preparing the lasagna filling.
