JALAPENOS:

CHEDDAR CHEESE:

• We can add the cheddar in these stuffed peppers, but we can also add the Monterey Jack, mozzarella, and pepper jack to have different flavors and textures. We can also add a variety of cheeses which can make the dish more indulgent.

KETO KETCHUP:

• We have to use keto ketchup to keep the dish keto-friendly. Sugar is added to regular ketchup, which can result in extra carbohydrates.

MUSTARD AND WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE:

• Mustard and Worcestershire sauce give a richness of flavor that resembles the taste of a traditional cheeseburger. We can also add the Dijon mustard adds a delicate flavor that improves the dish as a whole.
