I use my mother's recipe -- they're basically a mini meatloaf in
a green pepper cup (no rice). According to DietPower, these are
411 kcals and 25g carbs per pepper, dunnow why you couldn't use
reds or yellows instead of greens if you wanted to:

Stuffed Green Peppers

4 large green peppers
1 lb. ground beef
1/3 C. bread crumbs (I use panko)
¼ C. pickle relish
1 egg, beaten
½ C. onion, chopped OR 2 T. dried onion
Salt and Pepper to taste
Ketchup

Cut slice from each pepper to form a cup. Clean, cook in boiling
salted water for five minutes. Drain. Combine next 7 ingredients,
mixing well with a fork or hands. Fill peppers with this mixture.
Place in greased baking dish. Bake at 350º F. for 30 minutes. Remove
from oven and top with ketchup; return to oven for 15 minutes more.
Serves four.

I wrap them individually and freeze them raw; you just add another
15-30 minutes to your cooking time...
