- To make the perfect lasagna-stuffed peppers, start with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Use ripe bell peppers, lean ground beef, and a flavorful lasagna sauce.
- Be sure to cook the rice until it is al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will help to prevent the rice from becoming mushy when it is cooked with the other ingredients.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheese. A blend of mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta cheese is a classic choice, but you could also try using cheddar, Gruyère, or fontina cheese.
- If you don't have a lot of time, you can use a jarred lasagna sauce. Just be sure to choose a sauce that is flavorful and has a thick consistency.
- To prevent the peppers from becoming soggy, be sure to drain them well before stuffing them. You can also use a paper towel to pat the peppers dry.
- Lasagna-stuffed peppers can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, simply reheat them in the oven until they are warmed through.
