Open in Pepper →A few bell peppers turn a pound of ground beef into a real supper. They hold the filling, they roast up sweet, and they mean you don't have to make a separate vegetable.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection on the nights they've got meat thawed and not much of a plan, or when they want one pan in the oven while everybody finishes homework.
Every recipe here leans on peppers in some way, from Stuffed Bell Peppers Soup and Ground Beef Stuffed Bell Peppers to Taco Stuffed Bell Peppers, Italian Sausage & Rice Stuffed Bell Pepper, chicken salad stuffed mini bell peppers, and Unstuffed bell peppers when you don't feel like filling anything.
Pick flat-bottomed peppers
Look for peppers that sit level so the filling stays put; if one wobbles, shave a thin slice off the bottom without cutting through.
Par-cook the peppers
Boil halved peppers 4 to 5 minutes or microwave them 3 minutes before stuffing so they come out tender instead of crunchy.
Cook the rice first
Rice won't soften inside a pepper, so stir in fully cooked rice or a prepared rice side before filling.
Cover, then uncover
Bake covered with foil for 30 minutes, then pull the foil and add cheese for the last 10 so it browns.
