Classic Stuffed Peppers
Classic Stuffed Peppers – Bell peppers are robust enough to maintain their form in the oven, large enough to store a lot, and have a mild enough flavor to go with nearly everything. In other words, they make the ideal container for a wide range of fillings and ingredients.
Check out our Cheesesteak and Chicken Parm variants if you don’t believe me that we’ve stuffed peppers in every possible way! — but this time-tested dish is still a favorite of ours. Although we’ve premade them with beefy tomato rice and shredded Monterey Jack cheese, you can alter the ingredients to suit your preferences. Replace the ground beef with any other ground protein of your choice, including pork, turkey, chicken, or even Italian sausage, and top with your preferred melty cheese.
