These Stuffed Peppers are a quick, delicious and easy meal for those busy weeknights. They’re satisfying even for the heartiest of appetites!

Stuffed Peppers

Happy St. Patrick’s Day friends! Have any big plans to celebrate the holiday? Will it be corned beef and cabbage for dinner? Perhaps some Reuben Poppers with some green beer? Sounds like a good plan to me! Well, however you celebrate, I hope you enjoy yourselves!

This time of year I’m always looking for quick dinners. Whether you have kids in spring sports or you just want to enjoy the warmer weather outside, dinner time always seems to sneak up on us doesn’t it? These Stuffed Peppers have always been a quick and easy favorite of mine. When I was growing up stuffed peppers were my grandmother’s specialty. It was always such a delicious and comforting meal.

Stuffed Peppers

The filling is a hearty mixture of meatloaf mix, onion, corn, tomatoes, and brown rice with a little pepper jack cheese and red pepper flakes to give it some kick. While the filling is cooking, you pre-cook the bell peppers in the microwave to soften them up a bit before stuffing. When the filling mixture is done cooking you stuff the peppers, sprinkle with extra shredded pepper jack and panko crumbs, and bake for 20 minutes until the peppers are slightly bubbly and the cheese is lightly browned.

Stuffed Peppers

I’m telling you guys, this one couldn’t be easier! It’s the perfect fast and tasty meal for the busy spring season. It covers all the bases… meat, starch and veggies all in one dish! Enjoy and hope to see you back at the BHK this Saturday when I’ll be sharing a sweet treat for Simple Saturday!

    A perfect idea for a weeknight dinner Mary Ann. I loved stuffed peppers as a kid and haven’t made them in many years. I will definitely give this recipe a try one night soon. Softening the peppers in the microwave is so smart! Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

    Happy St Pattys day, Mary Ann! No big plans here, unlessentially staying home in your pj’s count. ;) I used to LOVE stuffed peppers growing up! I’d always beg mom my to make them, but I haven’t had one in years! Totally need to change that and make these soon! They look perfectly delicious! Thanks for bringing back some old, good memories for me, friend! Cheers to a wonderful rest of the week!

    I have never had stuffed peppers but these look delicious. Two questions, though, can I boil the pepper instead of microwave? What can I serve with them? I am from China and we have a similar dish which was pepper stuffed with ground meat and then steamed. lol

      Hello Lucienne! Yes, you can steam them on the stove top. I would fill a steamer or a deep skillet with about two inches of water, place the cut peppers in cut side up and bring the water to a boil. When the water comes to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Steam for about 6-8 minutes or until slightly tender. They will cook more when you bake them in the oven after stuffing. You really don’t need to serve these with anything. They’ve got your meat, veggies and starch all included! Hope that helps! Thanks for following and have a great day!

    I don’t eat enough stuffed peppers, Mary Ann – these ones looks so great! I think I could swap out the meat for mushrooms and they would be delicious. Looking forward to trying a veggie version of this! Have a great weekend.
