Have you noticed that there's really a stuffed pepper recipe for every mood and craving? Well, Team Delish certainly has. Over the years, we've created 26 easy stuffed pepper recipes, meaning you could have a month of great weeknight dinners without repeats! If you're used to just throwing in some ground turkey and veggies and calling it a day, it's time to expand your horizons with these Buffalo chicken, spinach and artichoke, and Philly cheesesteak-stuffed peppers to spice up dinnertime.
We love stuffed peppers for so many reasons: They're easy to make, but since we don't make them all the time, they also feel a little special too. Plus, they're the perfect way to sneak in vegetables. Best of all, they're a clever way to enjoy our favorite comfort foods (like pizza, falafel, and chicken Parm) without feeling too weighed down afterward.
Don't want to stop at just stuffing peppers? Same here! We took all the classic fillings turned them into our stuffed pepper soup and a stuffed pepper casserole. Also, you definitely should be stuffing your avocados and zucchini if you haven't already. We all know it's what's inside that counts! But if you're a true bell pepper fan, we've got plenty of ways to cook with bell peppers that don't involve stuffing too.
