This is one of my partner’s favorite meals for a weeknight!

This low carb cheesy beef and bell pepper casserole is a comforting dish that brings together the flavors of the Midwest with a modern twist. Growing up, casseroles were a staple at our family gatherings, often made with whatever was fresh from the garden or available in the pantry. This recipe is a nod to those simpler times, using ground beef and vibrant bell peppers to create a hearty meal that’s both satisfying and low in carbohydrates. It’s perfect for those looking to enjoy a classic comfort food without the extra carbs, and it fits beautifully into a busy lifestyle, being easy to prepare and bake.

This casserole pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad dressed in a light vinaigrette, which adds a refreshing contrast to the rich, cheesy flavors. You might also consider serving it alongside some roasted vegetables, like asparagus or Brussels sprouts, to keep the meal low carb. For a touch of indulgence, a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives on top can elevate the dish even further.
