How to Make Stuffed Keto Peppers: Pepperoni Pizza
This is just a quick overview of how to make the low carb pepperoni pizza stuffed peppers. For the recipe in detail, scroll to the recipe card at the end of the post.
Preheat oven, then cook ground sausage (any large pan will do; I used my 6qt dutch oven) until cooked through.
Add pizza sauce, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat.
Place pepper halves in a dish and spoon sausage mixture evenly into the peppers. Bake. (I used an 8″ x 8″ baking dish.)
Remove dish from oven, top bell peppers with cheese and pepperoni slices, then return to the oven to bake until cheese is melted (about 8-10 minutes).
Serve and enjoy! Each serving is one bell pepper half.

What Brand of Mild Italian Sausage Should I Use in my Low Carb Stuffed Peppers?
For a budget-friendly option, I recommend using Johnsonville Mild All Natural Italian Ground Sausage. It is gluten-free, dairy-free, MSG-free, and contains no artificial colors, artificial flavors, nitrates, or nitrites. It does contain a tiny amount of sugar, but not enough to be harmful or to boost the carb content. (Bacon is the same way; nearly all brands contain a touch of sugar.)
If you want an entirely sugar-free option, I recommend Pederson’s No Sugar Ground Italian Sausage.
What Brand of Sugar-Free Pizza Sauce Should I Use?
If you can find it, Rao’s Pizza Sauce is the best sauce for this recipe! It is available in many grocery stores in the U.S.
If you can’t find it, any sugar-free pizza sauce will suffice. Check the labels and go for the lowest-carb option – as a comparison, Rao’s contains 3g net carbs per 1/4 cup.

Keto Stuffed Peppers: Pepperoni Pizza == Great recipe! I made this pepperoni pizza version of stuffed peppers this weekend. It was a big success. The stuffed peppers are simple to prepare. My wife and teenage son loved it as much as me. My fussy youngest son ate the insides but passed the pepper shell over to my teenager to eat. I will be adding this to my frequent meal recipe rotation. Thanks.
