A great, basic recipe for stuffed peppers! I too thought they would be too bland as written so I added some extra seasonings. I also read that others could not get their peppers tender enough - I rubbed each pepper with oil inside and out, and cooked them covered with foil for 45 minutes instead of 35, and then cooked uncovered for an additional 15. My peppers came out perfect! I also did not drain the fat from cooking the beef, however I did not have much to begin with since I used a leaner blend. Awesome recipe, but docked a star due to the adjustments made. Thanks!

My mother used a 50/50 mix of beef and pork.  She would double the garlic.   She also poured some tomato juice around the peppers in the baking dish, which made the peppers juicier and a little softer.

Tried it with Boca veggie meat and tasted SO GOOD. I also added some spinach and it was amazing.

Really enjoyed this! If you like spice and heat I would recommend adding some extra chili powder or hot pepper flakes. I found it a little bland otherwise, but that may be just right for you.

Good, but I thought it needed more seasoning even after I added 1-1/2 tsp of salt.  I was short on time so nuked the peppers for 3 minutes until a little tender but still on the crisp side.  I only needed to bake 20 minutes instead of 35 before topping w/cheese & baking the last 10 minutes.

Yes, I would make this again! You can always Dr. it up and use different kinds of diced tomatoes like the ones that have basil and garlic. Or if you enjoy garlic, use more than three cloves. But it was great just like the recipe was. :)

I have made this dish, using this recipe, at least twenty times. My family and friends beg me to make it! I make it exactly as written with the exception of substituting cauliflower rice for actual rice, making it into a low car dish. Otherwise, it IS the perfect stuffed pepper dish, exactly as written. Perfect every time.

Turned out amazing and I used garlic herb cauliflower rice and a little dried hot peppers. Delicious

I made this with mushrooms instead of meat. It’s very delicious.

This is my first time trying to cooking stuffed peppers and this recipe so far has turned out really good.

This was such a yummy dish! I made a few adjustments though. I used A can of Rotel Instead of regular chopped tomatoes to give it some heat. When cooking the rice, I added a packet of Sazón seasoning to flavor the rice. I also used a large purple onion and added a bit more garlic. Coating the insides of the peppers helped to soften them during cooking. It turned out great! Yummmm!

Cooked according to directions except used parmesan...a good quality one! 
Thought it was delicious and fresh...I used amazing beef from Lancaster, and too much spice was not needed. Perfect!

This is my go to recipe but I change some of it. I parboil my peppers for 15 minutes before stuffing them so they are soft and cook easily. I use an Italian Zest seasoning and add a little Cumin in addition to the seasoning used for a little more flavor. I also add cheese to the meat mixture because we love cheese in my home. So delish ❤️

I cut the recipe in half and used orzo pasta instead of rice, homemade marinara and shredded mozzarella and provolone pizza cheese blend. They turned out great! My husband loved them! I will definitely be making these again VERY soon.

Great recipe.  I used quinoa instead of the rice, and used tomato sauce instead of the rice tomatoes, added chopped fresh roma tomatoes and jalapenos in last 10 minutes, to taste.

has anyone tried reheating the left overs?  If so what method, oven, microwave?

Looking for bell pepper recipes? This quinoa stuffed peppers recipe is a colorful and delicious healthy dinner, full of Mediterranean flavors like lemon, parsley and feta.

Mediterranean Stuffed Peppers

multi-colored bell peppers

quinoa

garlic

shallots (1 cup chopped)

parsley

pistachios

olive oil

red pepper flakes

paprika

lemon juice lemon

sea salt

feta cheese crumbles (optional)

Wash the peppers and cut them in half lengthwise; remove the stems and seeds. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then place the peppers on top. Bake with the cut side down for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven, flip to cut side up, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Bake another 15 minutes until tender.

Meanwhile, cook the quinoa (or use our Instant Pot quinoa method): Rinse the quinoa and drain it completely, then place it in a saucepan with 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer where the water is just bubbling for 17 to 20 minutes until the water has been completely absorbed. (Check by pulling back the quinoa with a fork to see if water remains.) Turn off the heat and let sit with the lid on to steam for at least 5 minutes.

Mince the garlic, shallot and parsley. Chop the pistachios. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the garlic, shallot and red pepper flakes and sauté 1 to 2 minutes until the shallot is translucent and the garlic is fragrant. Remove from the heat, then stir in the cooked quinoa, pistachios, 1/4 cup parsley, paprika, oregano, lemon juice and zest, sea salt and black pepper. Taste and add another few pinches of salt to taste. Spoon the filling into the roasted pepper halves. Garnish with a small sprinkling of remaining parsley and feta cheese crumbles. Serve any additional filling on the side.
