Tips:

Choose the right peppers: Look for large, firm bell peppers with smooth skin. Avoid any peppers with blemishes or bruises.
Cook the rice ahead of time: This will save you time and ensure that the rice is cooked evenly.
Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and texture to the stuffing. Some good options include onions, celery, carrots, and corn.
Season the stuffing well: Use a combination of herbs and spices to create a flavorful stuffing. Some good options include garlic, paprika, oregano, and thyme.
Stuff the peppers loosely: This will allow the rice to expand as it cooks.
Bake the peppers at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust on the peppers.
Serve the peppers with your favorite toppings: Some good options include cheese, sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
