On my last large family freezer cooking day, I made over 20 of these Keto stuffed peppers for the Instant Pot or Slow Cooker. I used 4 lbs of pasture raised ground beef.
You could also mix and match and use ground beef, ground turkey, or sausage. These Instant Pot Stuffed Peppers are also easy to sneak additional leftover veggies into when no kiddos are looking. 🙂
