A great guilt free alternative to the traditional pizza night! These stuffed peppers will seriously make your low carb dreams come true. With the BEST sauce and a pizza-saucy beef and pepperoni mixture, you’ll love everything about these pizza stuffed peppers.
Pizza's are something most of us crave but are well aware that they are not particularly healthy. A capsicum stuffed with all of the yummy ingredients is the ideal solution. Healthy, delicious and appropriate at any time of day.
Preheat oven to 200ºC.
Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
Add in ground meat, garlic, and cook while crumbling with a wooden spoon until no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
Drain excess oil and season with Italian seasoning, sea salt and pepper, then stir in the diced tomatoes.
Continue to simmer on medium-low heat for 8-10 minutes, or until sauce thickens.
Pour the passata sauce into the bottom of the casserole dish and spread with a spatula.
Arrange the peppers, cut side up as shown, and evenly spoon in the meat mixture.
Sprinkle with shredded cheese and arrange pepperoni slices and olives on top.
Bake for about 15-20 minutes or so until peppers are tender-crisp and cheese is nice and melty.
For a bit of extra kick, sprinkle with chilli flakes before serving.
