Ingredients
4 bell peppers (any color)
2 lbs ground beef
3 tablespoons minced onion
1 cup diced tomatoes, drained
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/3 cup ketchup (keto use sugar-free ketchup)
2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
1/3 cup bacon, cooked and diced

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350° F. Assemble ingredients. Wash peppers. Slice peppers lengthwise in half through the middle and removes the seeds.
Place the sliced peppers in a microwave-safe dish with 1/4 cup water. Cover and microwave 7-10 minutes or until peppers are soft.
In the meantime, brown the ground beef until cooked through. Drain fat and return ground beef to pan.
In the same pan with the ground beef, mix in minced onion, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, ketchup, yellow mustard, cheddar cheese, and bacon. Do a taste test and add salt and pepper to taste.
Spray a 13 x 9 baking dish with nonstick spray. Place cooked peppers inside the dish and generously stuff with meat mixture. Top with remaining cheddar cheese.
Bake 350 ° F for 20-30 minutes until peppers are heated through and cheese is melted.
