A member from FamilyCorner.com posted the low carb sloppy joe stuffed peppers that I made for my dinner tonight. This dish was full of flavor and very good. I didn't eat a lot for breakfast and lunch today so I decided to eat one whole green pepper and the filling. The original serving size is 1/2 of a green pepper with filling for 4 carbs. I didn't use quite one pound of ground beef so I probably have enough filling left over to stuff another whole pepper. I'm going to cook the pepper tomorrow, then stuff it and stick it into the freezer for when I need a quick lunch or dinner. This recipe is a keeper!
Low Carb Sloppy Joe Stuffed Peppers
1 pound ground beef
1 ounce onion, chopped, about 2 TBSP
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup tomato sauce - I used Hunts
1 teaspoon granular Splenda - I skipped this
1 1/2 teaspoons white vinergar
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt -I skipped this
1/8 teaspoon pepper
8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded - I just
sprinkled a little bit on top of my peppers
3 green peppers, halved lengthwise
Brown the ground beef, onion, celery and garlic; drain fat.
Stir in all remaining ingredients except the cheese and green peppers.
Simmer 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, parboil the peppers in a little boiling water 3 minutes; drain. To shorten baking time, I cooked mine for almost 8 minutes.
Place peppers in a baking dish. Stir half the cheese into the hamburger mixture; fill peppers with meat. Top with remaining cheese.
Bake at 350º 15-20 minutes (5 -10 for me) until hot and bubbly and peppers are tender.
Makes 6 servings
Can be frozen

Good luck with the no carbs. This looks like a great start! It's so tough for me.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I see you're doing low carb. Ohh, maybe we can help one another. :) We try to go lower carbs and lower fat so it's a balancing act. I'll try this stuffed pepper recipe some night. The man person doesn't eat bell peppers but I love them! Thanks again for stopping by.
Barb, it's really tough for me, too, until I get past the first couple of weeks.
CookinsForMe, I'd love to set up a support team. My husband doesn't like stuffed peppers, either. I made this one just for me. They rest of the family ate something else. I tend to get bored eating the same old food so I'm trying to make sure I'm mixing the recipes up. :)
That looks delicious, Tami, thanks for posting it! I'm always looking for new recipes for low carb meals. :-)
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
I tried these tonight...they were pretty good...my 8 year old daughter even ate one!
