Hey all, I'm making stuffed peppers tonight, i have never followed a recipe for them, i generally just throw stuff together. What do you all like to put in your stuffed peppers? I am out of ground beef so it looks like the meat of choice will be chicken....I guess that makes it healtheir

    Try a Quinoa/Tomatoes and Sauce/Spice mixture. Cook the Quinoa, add the tomatoes and make a mixture. Stuff the peppers with that.

    I use brown rice, lean ground beef or turkey, diced onion and green peppers, and canned tomatoes. Basically--Spanish rice w/ meat.

    I made stuffed peppers w/ couscous, turkey bratwurst, spinach and garlic. And instead of baking them we used our gas grill. They were awesome!

    I make stuffed peppers with quinoa, ground turkey, onion, garlic, eggplant and a little bit of tomato paste. You could follow the same recipe with chicken!

    Oh. my. gosh. thos look soooooooooooooo delicious! I think this may be the winner, but I have no quinoa, but I imagine brown rice would work almost as wonderfully! I need to find a place that has inexpensive quinoa around here!

    That sounds awesome. I am going to try this over the weekend - I just picked a bunch of peppers last night.

    I make some stuffed peppers with lentil daal- red lentils cooked down with turmeric, garlic, ginger, chilli, chicken broth & curry powder. Then add some chopped spring onions, coriander (cilantro) & spinach to the lentils once cooked. Stuff the peppers & bake.

    Goes wonderfully with baked fish!

    I do ground turkey and get a package of low sodium taco seasoning. Fix that together and I usually mess up one or two peppers so i throw those in, red onions, jalepenos in a jar (rinse before chopping), and whatever else left over in the fridge that sounds good. Then add a dollop of salsa on top. Bake and sprinkle a tiny amount of cheese.

    I’ll only ever make mine with chicken breast not ground beef to avoid all the extra fat and processing involved in ground beef; even the lean beef and ground chicken and turkey are 2-5x more calories and fat than chicken breast.

    These were mine, photo taken last year

    I became vegan 3 weeks ago so future stuffed peppers will include black beans and brown rice, probably a tex-mex flavour with cilantro, corn, garlic and chilli powder.

    Those look delicious! Also, check out the link that one of the ladies put up, it has a vegan recipe, I made it tonight (but added chicken and jalapeno) and it came out SOOOOOOOOO good!
