Ninety-four percent of all stuffed peppers are made because there’s leftover rice around. You can adjust this recipe in lots of different places: the herbs, the meat to use, etc. Give these beautiful stuffed peppers a try!
I used different colored peppers and didn’t measure the ingredients exactly and I thought it was great! I used brown rice, extra garlic, and cooked it for a total of 1.5 hours. Great flavor, I will be making again!!!
This is a great recipe. I used ground turkey and italian turkey sausage instead of beef. The turkey is lower in fat which offsets the addtional cheese that I add.
Although I made a few minor changes I must say that these are the best ever!! I didn’t have chunky tomato sauce so just used canned chopped tomatoes and added tomato sauce to get the correct amount.
Our favorite stuffed pepper recipe! We only needed 3 medium sized peppers for our family so I adjusted to 1 lb. of beef and 1 cup of rice. Still only used half the stuffing mix.
I made this today for lunch and it was a BIG hit. I actually assembled it yesterday afternoon and refrigerated it overnight. I made it as written except for slightly less salt. It was excellent!
The Ingredients:
Bell Peppers. Vitamin-rich (especially vitamin C) and fiber-rich bell peppers act as a healthy, colorful, and tender vessel for the flavorful filling. Use any mixture of colors you desire.
Ground Beef. Not just for Hamburger Casserole, lean ground beef is a wonderful source of protein. It’s hearty and pairs nicely with the spices, tomatoes, and cheeses. You could also make these stuffed peppers with ground turkey or chicken.
Brown Rice. Stuffed peppers with rice are a classic. Adding a grain, like brown rice, makes the recipe more filling.
Fire-Roasted Tomatoes. While these are stuffed peppers without tomato sauce, I did add a can of diced fire-roasted tomatoes. It’s a simple change that adds a more complex flavor without sacrificing moisture.
Fresh Spinach. Fresh spinach cooks down and blends seamlessly into the filling, making it an excellent healthy sneak for stuffed peppers
Cheeses. Because stuffed peppers with cheese is a true crowd-pleaser! I used a combination of pepper jack cheese and sharp cheddar cheese.
Spices. Italian seasoning, cumin, garlic powder (which is quicker and easier than garlic cloves), salt, and pepper make this from-scratch filling far from one-note.
