Bell Pepper Sandwich with Bacon, Ham & CheesePin itFollow us 148.4k

These low-carb bell pepper sandwiches are the perfect zero effort lunch option. You can prep and pack them in just a few minutes using a few common ingredients.

Inspired by the latest TikTok trends, these bell peppers are stuffed with cream cheese, everything bagel seasoning, ham, cheese, radishes and crispy bacon.

I used green bell peppers because they are less sweet and better for sandwiches, and they contain fewer carbs than red, orange or yellow bell peppers. Either way, any bell peppers will be great in this recipe and will still keep it low in carbs.

Don't have ready-made everything bagel seasoning? You can easily make your own by mixing the following ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 tbsp poppy seeds
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp onion flakes
  • 1 tsp garlic flakes
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

Finally, a word of advice before you serve these bell pepper sandwiches. It's much easier if you serve the bell pepper halves separately rather than pressing the halves together and then cutting in half. It may look prettier (just like on these photos) but it's not practical. If you tried eating them pressed together, you know how messy it can get!

I changed the way I ate in 2011, when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid. I had no energy, and I found it more and more difficult to maintain a healthy weight.

That’s when I decided to quit sugar, grains, and processed foods, and to start following a whole-foods-based ketogenic approach to food.

Hmmm.....this one seems a little out there.  Think I will stick to your tortilla wraps, they do a great job and so much easier to eat.  
Different strokes for different folks.

I really like these but I won't lie, I eat them separately (not put together like a sandwich). It may look better on a photo but it's not very practical.

More easy meals like these please, ideally dairy-free or non cow dairy if possible. I can eat goat's cheese but I can't eat anything with cow's milk. I had to laugh when reading your tip for not eating them pressed together, been there too! It's much easier to eat as "pepper boats"!
