More tips for cooking stuffed peppers
Sometimes stuffed peppers can come out dry and bland tasting, so don’t let that happen! Here are a few things to watch out for:
Only cook the ground beef until it is just barely cooked through. It will finish browning and get a little crispy in the oven.Don’t omit the fire-roasted tomatoes, they keep the stuffed peppers juicy and flavorful.Be careful not to overcook the bell peppers. We prefer them with a little crunch, and the 15 minute cooking time is perfect for that.
