Keto Bell Pepper Meatball Subs

My guys LOVE homemade meatballs, meatball sliders, and my Weight Watchers Stuffed Peppers, so I created a combination of the three, with this delicious and easy to prepare Keto Bell Pepper Meatball Subs recipe!

Keto Bell Pepper Meatball Subs Ingredients

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, add meatball ingredients and combine using clean hands.

Form the mixture into 16 meatballs. Add a tablespoon of olive oil to a large skillet on medium-high heat. After the pan is heated through and oil is hot, add all of the meatballs and cook for 10 minutes – turning them every few minutes to ensure equal browning.

Turn the heat down to medium-low and pour the jar of marinara sauce over the meatballs. Cover and simmer for an additional 10 minutes.

Place bell peppers (cut side facing up) on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle salt and pepper.

Place a piece of provolone on four of the pepper halves and place in the oven for 7 or so minutes to allow the cheese to melt.

Remove the peppers from the oven, and add 4 meatballs on top of the cheesy pepper halves. Sprinkle with additional parmesan cheese if desired. Top with another bell pepper half to finish the sub sandwich. Enjoy warm.
