    🥘 Taco Stuffed Pepper Ingredients

    Ingredients needed for making taco stuffed peppers.
    • Bell Peppers - Any color is fine - green, red, orange, or yellow peppers are all delicious.
    • Ground Beef - I used 80/20 blend (20% fat content) but you can use lower fat ground beef if you prefer.
    • Taco Seasoning Mix - Of course, this is my favorite! 🙂 It's easy to make and much healthier. You can also use 1 store-bought packet for each pound of ground beef.
    • Sour Cream - Use full fat if you are following keto, if not low fat or nonfat is fine too.
    • Salsa - If you are following keto check the carb content and make sure they haven't slipped in any sugar.
    • Shredded Cheddar Cheese - Fresh grated is best. Usee mild, medium, or sharp.

    For exact ingredient quantities, please see the recipe card below!

    🔪 How To Make Taco Stuffed Bell Peppers

    Here's how to make this taco stuffed bell pepper recipe - please see the recipe card for more details.

    Prep

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

    Cook The Peppers

    Place the sliced bell peppers in a microwave-safe dish with 1/4 cup water. Cover and microwave 5 or 6 minutes or until just until peppers are soft.

    Note: Due to reader feedback the microwave cooking time has been reduced to 5 or 6 minutes, but please check doneness after 3 or 4 minutes. With varying sizes of peppers and microwave wattage, cooking times could vary. Peppers will be slightly "shriveled." It's okay because you will stuff them with cooked ingredients, reducing oven cooking time. 🙂

    cooking the bell peppers so they are tender.

    Cook The Meat

    In the meantime, brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until cooked through. Add the taco seasoning and water and cook according to instructions.

    Browning the ground beef in a skillet.

    Make Taco Filling

    In the same pan that you cooked the taco meat, mix in sour cream, salsa, and 1 cup of cheddar cheese.

    Adding sour cream, salsa, and shredded cheese to the taco meat.

    Stuff

    Spray a 13 x 9 baking dish with nonstick spray. Place cooked peppers inside the dish and generously stuff the bell peppers with the beef taco meat. Top with remaining cheddar cheese.

    Stuffing the peppers with meat and topping with cheese.

    Bake

    Bake the stuffed peppers at 350 ° F for 20-30 minutes, or until they are heated through and the cheese is melted.

    🥗 How To Serve It

    Here are a few ways to serve these low carb and keto stuffed peppers:

    Top with your favorite taco toppings such as salsa, sour cream, guacamole, hot sauce, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced olives.

    Meal idea! Serve with a side salad topped with avocado dressing. If you are not following a low-carb keto diet then this Mexican Street Corn Salad makes a wonderful side dish.

    📖 Variations

    Here are a few ways you can vary or make substitutions to this recipe:

    • Make it spicy and use a hot taco seasoning mix or add in cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
    • Thawed frozen corn or canned can be added, as well as drained black beans or kidney beans.
    • ½ to 1 cup of cooked rice can be added.
    • Use ground chicken or turkey in place of ground beef.
    • Add onions and saute with the ground beef. Chopped jalapenos can be added at the same time.
    • Lower the fat content and use fat-free sour cream, less cheese, and a lower fat ground beef.

    💭 Top Tips

    • Make ahead by pre-cooking and assembling everything. Bake when you are ready.
    • The ground beef mixture can be made ahead of time and the peppers can be pre-cooked.
    • Adjust any seasoning to your taste preferences.

    ❓FAQs

    What sides go with taco stuffed peppers?

    We like to top with our favorite taco toppings (shredded lettuce, olives, onions), homemade guacamole, salsa, and sour cream. Really, this taco stuffed bell pepper recipe is a meal in one, though.

    How do I reheat stuffed peppers?

    You can reheat your 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 steam in the microwave for 5 to 6 minutes. Make sure to slice your peppers in half and take the seeds out, per the recipe instructions.
    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. Freeze them individually for the perfect make-ahead lunch or single-serving dinner!

    My preferred method is to make the recipe first - stuffing and baking the peppers, then freezing them in airtight containers. Thaw and bake until heated through at 350° F.

    How long will stuffed peppers keep in the fridge?

    Stuffed peppers can be kept in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.

    How long can you freeze peppers?

    Peppers can be frozen for up to 6 months, but I prefer to use stuffed peppers within 3 to 4 months.

    How long do stuffed peppers take to cook?

    This Mexican stuffed pepper recipe takes anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes to bake, but the bell peppers are steamed in advance to give them a head start. Do this while preparing the filling.

      So I cooked the peppers in the microwave for 10 minutes following your instructions, and they came out a bit shriveled.. should they be microwaved for a shorter amount of time or is that okay that they ended up shriveled?

        Hi, as long as they are soft and you can still stuff them you are okay! 🙂 My peppers were slightly shriveled too. It's hard to be exact because microwaves can be different wattage, and peppers can be different sizes. The intent is just to get them soft so that they don't take as long to bake as the ingredients you are stuffing them with are already cooked. I am going to make a note in the recipe about this - thank you!!

          Yes, absolutely that works great. For those that like them softer it adds to the baking time so microwaving speeds up the process. If you like them crunchy (such as yourself) then baking without microwaving is a great option! Enjoy! 🙂

      I over cooked the peppers in the microwave. They seemed soggy, I’ll use less water next time. I was out of cheddar so substituted velveeta. I’ll reduce the amount of salsa and sour cream because it seems a little runny. The taste test was amazing!

        Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the peppers! I've overcooked my papers before too so don't worry! I somehow added 4 minutes and even though mine came out wilted looking They still ended up tasting good though! 🙂 Velveeta is a much more "melty" cheese so that might have contributed to your runnier texture too. Have a good day!

        Since the peppers are cooked they really just need to be heated in the oven. So maybe 350 for 35 to 45 minutes? I hope you enjoy them! We make them A LOT in our house.

        Hi! 🙂 If you are using my Copycat Taco Seasoning Mix or a packet of taco seasoning you would use 3/4 cup of water. You would brown the ground beef, add the seasoning and water and cook until the liquid is mostly absorbed and the meat mixture becomes "saucy". Since I'm not sure what ingredients you are using I can't say for certain how much of the taco seasoning to use or how much water you may need. You may not need water at all. I would recommend you add some of your seasonings to the ground beef and do a taste test then add more if needed. The recipe I created has a little thickener in it so as the liquid evaporates you end up with a slightly saucy meat mixture.

        Do you mean to stuff them whole? You could certainly do this, yes! 🙂 If you are asking about whether to cook them whole and then cut in half, I don't recommend it.

      I usually add rice to my stuff peppers.
      Can you add rice and would it change the flavor any?

        You could add rice, yes! I would add cooked rice to the meat mixture in the pan, maybe 1 1/2 cups of cooked rice? From there you can adjust the seasoning and consistency by taste testing before stuffing the peppers. The rice will absorb some of the liquids with the mixture so you could either leave it as is and see how it turns out after baking. After baking, you can top with sour cream and salsa if they need more moisture. OR, before stuffing the peppers you could add a little extra salsa into the meat mixture, or a little extra water when you make the taco meat. Hope that makes sense! It's hard for me to explain what I'd do when I usually stand around in the kitchen and start dumping stuff in until it looks and tastes right! LOL 🙂 Let me know how it turns out! -Kori

      My husband and I loved these peppers. I had 3 peppers, yellow. Microwaved peppers for 5 minutes and made the filling as stated. DELICIOUS! We love tacos and this is lower in carb and leftovers are even more delicious. Thank you for a great recipe.

        Thank you for trying out the taco stuffed peppers and sharing! I'm so glad you loved the recipe! 🙂 It's one of my favorites. Don't know if you saw, but I also have a cheeseburger stuffed peppers, and a lasagna stuffed pepper recipes. They both are good and a great way to use up peppers coming out of the garden 🙂 Oh, and you can freeze them

      This is a fantastic and easy keto recipe. I make it often. I boil the peppers for 5 minutes on the stove instead of microwaving, and I sauté some diced onion with the ground beef but otherwise follow everything as is (well, I also just pour in whatever amount of salsa feels right Lol). It’s great with some avocado and sour cream on top. It also reheats really well for leftovers!

        This is really a meal on its own. If you want to add more healthy fat serve with sour cream, more cheese, or diced avocados.

      Hi,

      Hi there,
      Can a brick of cream cheese be substituted for the sour cream?

        I think you could but it will be a different texture and flavor than the sour cream. Maybe use half a brick? The sour cream adds a bit of tang to the dish so maybe you could add a small squeeze of lime or lemon too?

      My family loves this recipe! Instead of microwaving peppers, I place them in a pan on the stove and bring to a boil for 5 minutes! I also add cooked rice and a can or bag of steam-able corn for a complete meal! I also use an 8 oz can of tomato sauce and a little salsa in this mix!
