Notes

Instead of pulled pork, you can use any kind of ground meat like lean beef, turkey, Italian sausage, or pork.
Even though these stuffed peppers are made without rice, you can fill them with some cauliflower rice if you like it.
For some extra flavor, add a little bit of tomato paste, diced tomatoes, and some chopped onion.
