Hello my dear readers,
And since this week, we’ve discovered the peppers, today let’s try a super delicious recipe: stuffed peppers.
I love stuffed peppers and this is a very simple recipe. It will take a little longer to cook than my usual recipes but is well worth it.
Stuffed peppers are a delicious and substantial dish that knows many variations, one more appetizing than the other: from the vegetarian one, stuffed with a mix of seasonal vegetables, to the one with rice or quinoa, which becomes a rich and tasty single dish.
The peppers, thanks to their shape, are easily transformed into tasty containers to be filled with a delicious meat-based or veggie mixtures.
Cooking in the oven will ensure that golden and crispy crust on the surface that will make your mouth water just looking at them!
Simple ingredients but with a squisite taste.
Ingredients for 2 big peppers (4 half):
- 250g ground meat (beef and pork preferably)
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs
- salt & pepper
- fresh parsley for garnishing (optional)
How to do it:
Preheat the oven at 180 degrees.
Wash, dry, cut the peppers in half, take out the seeds and place them on a baking dish.
In a bowl put the ground meat, the egg, half from the grated parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, season with salt and pepper and mix well.
Spoon the mixture into each pepper and top with the remaining parmesan cheese.
Cover the baking dish with foil.
Bake until peppers are tender, about 40-45 minutes. Uncover and bake until cheese is bubbly, 10-20 minutes more.
Garnish with parsley before serving.
Advice:
To keep the filling moist I recommend using also pork meat instead of using only beef and also instead of breadcrumbs, you can use stale bread soaked in milk and then squeezed the milk out.
You can cook them ahead and keep them in the fridge for 1-2 days.
I don’t recommend to freeze them though.

Thank you very much Simon! I’m really glad you like them! This is a variant with meat and beef and pork combination I think is the best 😉
However, who doesn’t like meat can make them vegetarian with veggies, rice or quinoa…😉 Others makes them with cheese….I love them in all ways 🤪

Tasty and Easy Stuffed Peppers
Hello my dear readers,
These look so delicious, and I’m sure you can make this with a meat substitute for a vegetarian dinner. My mom used to make these all the time, especially when the peppers started coming in all at once in the garden!
Oh yes, can stuff them with other veggies mixed with quinoa or rice…there are so many ways to make them and are all delicious 😋
You turned the peppers in to a feast! I love stuffed peppers and haven’t had them for years! Delicious 🙂
Thank you very much! Was quite a long time I did not make them either…so delicious 😋😋
Absolutely, a forgotten fave! 🙂
That was what I was thinking to make..I willgove them a try.
Thank you very much! Let me know if you try them how you like them 😉
Will do..will look for so e ground pork.
These look so good! I’ve been looking for a stuffed pepper recipe with beef that didn’t have rice. This is perfect! Saving this so I can try it. 🙂
Thank you very much Michelle! I hope you’ll like them 😉
I love this recipe! I first made it two years ago after seeing it Pinterest. 🤤
I’m glad you like it dear Jess! Are really delicious 😋 Pinterest can be a huge inspiration point when you don’t know what to cook 🤪
So true!
Those look like they have “loads” of goodness; can’t wait to try them! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much! I’m glad you like them! For me is the perfect combination between veggies and meat 😉
My husbands favorite and I never make them. Peppers are just about the only thing I just can’t handle smell and taste, yes I’m weird! 🤣😂
Really? Peppers have indeed a particular smell, which I love though 🤪
I know what can I say? I just have a extreme sensitivity to the smell and taste.
Always a favorite no matter what they are filled with. The red, yellow and orange peppers have a much sweeter taste than the green.
Thank you very much! Yes, true….the green peppers are very different but I like their crunchiness 😉
