We love peppers in our home. When peppers were so expensive at the grocery store, my husband found out and was like, um....we are growing our own! So when the peppers start coming in, this easy low carb meal is one of many favorite pepper meals.

We use riced cauliflower to make it low carb. The magical thing about cauliflower is that it absorbs the flavors it's cooked with. Plus, I really love getting veggies in wherever I can. Cheese tops this dish off perfectly, and we love our cheese!

This is one of those dishes that are amazing any time of year. So stock up on those peppers when they are on sale, diced them up, freeze them, then pull them out when you are ready to make this wonderfully tasty one pot dish!

Top it off with sour cream, cilantro, and fresh diced tomatoes...see, I snuck in some more veggies 😉 We like with chips (chippys!) on the side. You might be thinking, I thought it was low carb?!?! Well, yeah but who can resist chippys!? Try it with Nacho Doritos too...ufda. So good. Try it and let me know how you like yours topped!

NUGGETS OF KNOWLEDGE

Cheese - Any shredded cheese is good here, a package cheese is easy, but I like to use a block and shred it myself, it is my go-to! I usually use cheddar or Monterey jack, my husband likes spice, so I'll often do a spicier cheese on half for him.
