Tips:
- Choose the right bell peppers: Look for large, firm bell peppers with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have soft spots.
- Prepare the peppers properly: Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds and ribs. Rinse the peppers well and pat them dry.
- Use a variety of fillings: There are endless possibilities when it comes to stuffing bell peppers. Some popular fillings include rice, ground beef, sausage, vegetables, and cheese.
- Season the filling well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of herbs and spices to flavor the filling. This is what will really make your stuffed bell peppers stand out.
- Cook the peppers until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the peppers and the filling you are using. As a general rule, cook the peppers for at least 30 minutes, or until they are soft and the filling is cooked through.
