How to Make Stuffed Peppers:

Learning how to make stuffed peppers is so simple, it’s simply a matter of browning ground beef and adding a few ingredients then stuffing the peppers.

For our stuffed peppers we always use marinara or meat sauce, personally, I prefer meat sauce as it has a better flavor.

This can be either your own homemade variety or store-bought, it’s up to you!

Then, I add in cooked rice along with the meat, marinara, and a few herbs and spices to create this tasty meal.

These are easy to prepare then they will bake in the oven for about 40 minutes.

We typically serve them alongside sweet corn, but you could always add that into the peppers too.

Do you need to pre-cook the peppers?

Pre-cooking peppers is not necessary unless you prefer it. We like our peppers to be a bit more crunchy and to hold together, so I do not like boiling them first.

They are easy to cut with your fork while you are eating the stuffing and mix right into the meal even without boiling.

How should they be cut?

We cut the top off ours and then stuff the peppers and usually will discard the stem and the top; however, you can also cut them in half lengthwise too.

Are these Gluten-Free?

These are naturally gluten-free; however as always be sure to check all ingredients first to be sure they meet your dietary needs.
