This low-carb fajita casserole is a delicious meal that you can enjoy if you are on a low-carb diet or even if you are not. You can simply add rice to the mix before baking or serve it on the side.
This meal is also delicious over pasta if you want to add in some quick carbs. I like this recipe because it is an easy way to add some vegetables to a meal without even realizing it. Bell peppers are extremely healthy and high in vitamin C, which is so important since we are entering fall and winter.
