Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Bell peppers with a deep, rich color and firm flesh are ideal for stuffing. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Prepare the peppers properly: Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs. Rinse the peppers thoroughly and pat them dry.
  • Cook the filling thoroughly: The filling should be cooked through before stuffing the peppers. This will help to prevent the peppers from becoming soggy.
  • Pack the filling tightly: Pack the filling tightly into the peppers, but not so tightly that it bursts the peppers.
  • Bake the peppers at a moderate temperature: Bake the peppers at a moderate temperature (350°F) for 30-40 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through.
  • Serve the peppers immediately: Stuffed peppers are best served immediately after they are baked. They can be garnished with fresh herbs, grated cheese, or a dollop of sour cream.
