Instant Pot low carb stuffed peppers are filling and full of delicious flavors! There’s nothing better than a meal that can be made in an Instant Pot…especially when it’s too hot to turn the oven on. If you’re looking for a low carb option for your supper meal, you are at the right place. This recipe is also perfect for the Trim Healthy Mama!
Are Instant Pot Low Carb Stuffed Peppers Easy To Make?
As with anything delicious, there is some preparation involved, but not a ton.
For this recipe, you literally put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix together, then scoop into raw peppers…easy peasy!
To make your prep even easier, cook up the ground beef ahead of time.
How Can These Stuffed Peppers Be Low Carb?
If you are thinking that stuffed peppers usually contain some sort of rice, then you’d be correct!
Except this recipe does not have any rice in it.
The one ingredient that is substituted for rice in this dish is cauliflower rice!
Cauliflower rice is the perfect ingredient to make stuffed peppers low carb…but you’d think you were eating regular rice.
Ingredients To Make Instant Pot Stuffed Peppers
- bell peppers (I like using a variety of colored peppers)
- no sugar added pasta sauce
- ground beef
- frozen cauliflower rice
- shredded cheddar cheese
- salt/pepper
- Italian seasoning
- garlic powder
- onion powder
- dried parsley
- water
No Special Ingredients Needed For Stuffed Peppers
If you are familiar with Trim Healthy Mama, then you will be happy to know that this recipe takes no special ingredients.
This means that you can generally find all the ingredients in your local grocery store or health food store.
What If I Don’t Have An Instant Pot?
You can absolutely still make these stuffed peppers without an Instant Pot.
It just takes a little longer to cook in the oven.
You would prepare the stuffed peppers the same way, only you need to place them in a glass baking dish.
Baking them can take up to an hour, but they will still be delicious and super tasty at meal time!
I highly suggest buying an Instant Pot, though. They are so worth it!
