There’s more than one way to stuff a pepper and the options are endless! Here are some of my all-time favorite stuffed peppers recipes to get you started
With over 9 years of blogging and recipe development under my belt, I think it’s safe to say I have some pretttty awesome ideas for what to do with bell peppers.
Let’s get our recipe on, shall we?!
These rockin’ recipes can be made with any color bell pepper your heart desires.
Red, green, yellow, and orange bell peppers are all work great for stuffed peppers. Red tends to be the most popular choice as the world seems super divided on green bell peppers – lol! I personally adore them!
Below you’ll find a mix of T-Rex and Vegetarian options. If you’re looking for more veggie loaded peppers, let me know! I’m always happy to dream up new flavor combos and post my favorites.

But Wait! There’s More!
If you’re looking for all the classic stuffed pepper flavors in an easy peasy package, my Stuffed Pepper Soup is out of this world amazing!
It can be made stove-top or in the slow cooker. I need to test it in the Instant Pot next to see if it works there as well. Helloooo versatility!
I adore making a huge batch of this soup (both the vegetarian and t-rex versions are a hit here) with the end of summer bell peppers from my garden and freezing in easy heat-and-eat portions for later! SO GOOD!
Audrey from Two Pink Peonies has a tasty looking Bacon Stuffed Peppers recipe that I’m excited to try too.

Yum Yum.
It looks like you’ve tried both blanching the peppers and steaming in the oven.
What is your perfered method here in 2019 for cooking the peppers?
Last time I made Philly Cheese steak bell peppers my peppers weren’t soft enough come dinner time. whomp whomp
Blanching will for sure soften the peppers faster! I like mine on the crisper side when stuffing them with taco toppings and ingredients but then softer when stuffed with cheese/veggies/rice so I’ll usually bounce back between the two methods. If you’re cooking the filling stovetop and only need it to heat through, I’d for sure blanch then stuff then bake to cut down on cook time! xoxo
