- Stuffed peppers are always a family favorite. This classic version is loaded with ground beef, garlic, onion, tomatoes, spinach, and rice. They're easy, healthy, filling, and bonus - they make for delicious leftovers or meal prep.
When bell peppers are sliced in half they become the perfect vegetable to stuff with a variety of ingredients. They're firm enough to hold their shape while cooking, yet soft enough to enjoy sliced up with the filling, for a self-contained complete meal. Enjoy them for lunch or dinner!
This recipe is also endlessly customizable to fit a variety of diets and preferences, so have fun with it! And check out some of my variations on the recipe post below.

Do you prefer a classic stuffed pepper or do you alter it with different ingredients? There really are so many options. And I'm thinking I should share some of the breakfast options you can make with stuffed peppers as well. ;) xo - Lisa
Hola 😎👍
Hi there! 😊
We love Mexican stuffed bell peppers, not always with rice.... we usually use this as a leftover recipe.... taco meat, onions, salsa, spinach and cilantro... or even with leftover fajita ingredients.... just mix up all your ingredients just like a regular pepper recipe ... I stuff them and top with Mexican cheese and cook ‘me up. We prefer red , yellow and orange peppers.
I also prebake/steam my peppers before stuffing as you do.
Love a breakfast option!
Hello , I make these often tho it's usually not something that we Sri Lankans eat here. Please share a breakfast version too....☺️👌
I haven’t had stuffed peppers in so long. I love the addition of the spinach! Going to make them next week!
It's such a delicious and classic recipe! And you know I love additional greens 😊 Enjoy!
I’ve just finished making these, thanks! If anyone is reading this I recommend using red peppers for all because they are the sweetest, if you want a kick just add some chilli and finally, less rice and more mince. I also used turkey mince and it is healthier and looked better.
This stuffed pepper recipe is excellent! It's my favorite! I have made it more times than I can count. Every recipe I have tried here I have liked. I really appreciate that they are Gluten Free and that options for other allergies like dairy etc are always available.
What a great chef you are ❤❤
Thanks for sharing your recipes 😊
Par-baking the peppers is a WONDERFUL idea!
I've just tried the recipe, maybe the best stuffed peppers recipe I have tried, especially if you consider that I come from Greece which takes pride in good stuffed peppers recipes. My husband also couldn't put his fork down...he told me that this is the reason why he married me, because I am a great cook! hahaha! So the compliment is also for you Lisa, thanks!
You're like the smart, sophisticated older sister I never knew I always wanted hahaha. I just thought I'd say, I absolutely love your channel aswell as everything you suggest. Thank you for all of your teachings! They very much improve my life! ❤️ I appreciate You! I hope you have a great day! 😄🤗
Made these for dinner tonite. Delish, just added a bit a white wine to the onions, garlic and meat. They were so moist and delish.
Best stuffed-pepper recipe I've ever tried. Cutting peppers lengthwise and precooking are terrific ideas. I substituted Taco seasoning for Italian seasoning, added chopped Jalapeno (seeds and membranes removed) to onion-garlic saute, and substituted chopped cilantro for parsley. Thank you, Lisa!
So glad all the tips in this worked out for you Julie! 😊
Such an amazing recipe! Made it last night for dinner. I can always count on your channel for easy-to-follow, delicious healthy recipes for all occasions. I'm a big fan. Thank you for your endless creativity and hard work!!!
Wonderful! Glad you go to enjoy these stuffed peppers 😊
At last a chef who finds ways of saving time while cooking :-)
Oooh, stuffed peppers are a particular love of mine, such a versatile dish and these look yum! I don't eat beef so I usually put lentils instead 😍
Lentils are also a great substitution 😊
I love them too! I usually go for "fake meats" but lentils are such a nice idea! 😊
can you use lentils in the same way Lisa used ground beef? That is, cook the lentils and then sautee them with the other ingredients?
I made this twice now already. I did also add more seasoning and added Turkey instead of beef and it's so delicious. I never learned how to cook so this is my first time trying many of your recipes. Thanks for sharing them.
Thank you, Lisa! Enjoy this beautiful and sunny weekend 💕
Thank you! You too Nora 😊
Thanks for halfing them vertically
I just found your channel and I’m obsessed😱❤️
Welcome to the Downshiftology community Valeria 😊
genius idea to precook the peppers! I will do that going forward! p.s. I often use cauli-rice for extra veggies in this dish! its great with ground turkey!
cauli rice...never heard of it. Thanks for a great suggestion
I made these with ground chicken and rice and quinoa and a can of cherry tomatoes. They were so good. My 8 year old also gobbled them down. Thanks for the great and easy recipe! Great prebaking tip too!
I made these today and OMG... thank you!
Glad you like them! 😊
I’m making it tonight! Wish me luck 😀
Did one full you or do you recommend eating two ?
Thank you! My 10 year old son just spotted me watching this and was intrigued so we paused the video and got cooking! they are in the oven (vegetarian version) now for the final bake! :)
That's awesome! I hope you two enjoy these stuffed peppers 😊
I've wanted to make stuffed bell peppers fo so long and these were sooo good! I'm definitely going to make them again. I just added some tabasco, and a shredded carrot because I forgot to buy spinach. Thank you for this recipe!
Definitely going to try these. I love stuffed peppers! My husband is allergic to rice so I'll substitute with quinoa. 😊
Quinoa will be the perfect substitute 😊
I bet using barley, farro, buckwheat groats, etc, would be great too!
I absolutely love this recipe. Another thing my mom used to do was to top them with bechamel sauce. It gives it an amazing TOUCH! 😍😍😍
Thank you so much Lisa, I love your channel.
That sounds great! I'll have to try that sometime 😊
I have cooked this recipe for many many times already,! It becomes our favorite dish 😍
My mom made these, as well as stuffed cabbage.. Thanks for bringing back some fond memories
Romanian cuisine has stuffed bell peppers dish( rice, onion, greens, spices and ground meat). Usually boiled in broth and tomato sauce then goes in the oven. We serve it with sour cream on top and Serrano pepper 😊
Same mixture we wrapped and cook in cabbage leaves
Last week I made these! So good 👌 I am making them again later next week. Perfect prepped meal for work. Thank you
I’ve never made stuffed peppers before, always wanted to make them. Now I’m gonna have to try these. Thanks for sharing, they look delicious! Keep up the great recipes. 👍🏻
Now's the perfect time to try! Enjoy the recipe Bea 😊
This hit my alerts at the perfect time!!! I am cooking stuffed bell peppers for lunch today. Cannot wait to try your recipe. You always have the best tasting meals.
That is pretty amazing...! 😉 Can't wait for you to try my version + tips!
Downshiftology your recipe was a hit! It made for a very fulfilling & delicious meal. Thanks!
Healthy food for beautiful souls 💚
Love this recipe! Adding chopped mushrooms and black olives gives even more nutrition and flavor!
Sounds great! Can't wait to see how yours turns out 😊
Well, I made this. Not bad. Very good and delicious. Would recommend it. specially the filling is amazing. This is the second time I made something from youtube. One that made me want to cook more. My peppers were smaller, so I had extra filling. But my parents really ate all of it. thumbs up!!!!!
This the first time I made stuff pepper with spinach. My family really enjoyed the stuff peppers recipe. Thank you
Can't wait to try these out! I think adding in chopped up broccoli or cauliflower would be great as well 😁👍
Such a great idea to slice the peppers length-wise! Thanks for another delicious video, Lisa.
It makes it so much easier! ✨Hope you enjoy these pepeprs!
I love stuff peppers. Thank you for your recipe.
Thanks for watching 😊
Thank you your meals help me change more easily
I made this with ground chicken and used brown rice with quinoa added celery to the onions at the beginning …. Topped with a little tomato sauce ..was. Perfect for our household .. thanks for your great recipe
I am adding these to this week's meal plan. I have never made stuffed peppers before but your video has convinced me to give them a try!
Tried this recipe last night...it was super easy and extremely delicious. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed these stuffed peppers Monica!
Good Morning...I made these today...your style...I have all these ingredients. In the oven ..right now. "OUTSTANDING"..!!
Glad you like them! 😊
I make like that. Very good idea for spinach. I add tomato sauce around and serve with sour cream. Well done 👍
I bring my elderly parents dinner sometimes. They are ALWAYS requesting that I make this for them!! I use all of the colors of peppers, and have substituted turkey for the hamburger, and mozzarella for the pepper jack at times. My Dad is a retired Chef and he says these peppers are the best he's ever tasted, and are definitely restaurant worthy!!
Just made this tonight for dinner. WOW, absolutely delicious. Highly, highly, recommend this recipe. The video is so incredibly helpful too as I get most of my dinner recipes from youtube. Thank you for sharing :)
You’re speaking my language! I was just thinking about meal prep stuffed peppers and your vid appeared in my feed. Great hack about pre-baking the peppers. Thanks! 🟩🟥🟨🟧
Hope these tips work out for you 😊
This recipe smells summer, I love it . It's a perfect meal for a healthy diet ! Merci Lisa, hello from France !
I love your channel.I am making these for dinner on Valentine’s Day with all red bell peppers. Keep up the great channel.
Hi from Turkey 🥰
Congratulations 👏👏🙏
This stuffed pepper recipe you make is a typical Turkish dish.
I made this for dinner and it was so good!! Thank you!
Yay! Glad this recipe was a success 😊
My sister and I made these stuffed peppers tonight. They were a big hit! My husband raved about them. Thank you so much. 😊😊😊
Glad everyone enjoyed this recipe!
One of my favorite meals. Never thought of cutting them length wise. Daaaaa. So much more manageable. Thanks.
They came out so good! I like this way because one can get rid of the fat that ground beef renders and you don’t end up with a greasy dish.
I've seen a lot of recipes for stuffed peppers but none look as appetizing as yours. Cheers lovely lady!
Just wonderful, thanks!
First time making stuffed bell peppers 🫑 My husband and I loved this recipe. Thanks for sharing this recipe 💕🌻
Wow!!! It was delicious!!! Thank you!!!
Just made this today and your recipe cut the prep time in half. The family loved them.
Glad your family enjoyed this Pamela 😊
This is my son’s favorite recipe. I’ve been doing it for years. But you gave some tips I’ll definitely use! As always.... your advices ROCK!
thank you for this recipe! never liked stuffed peppers, but this receipt made me in love with it ❤️ and adding extra greens - amazing!
I loved this recipe! I add sauce on top of the peppers for the 2nd bake though
I’m pescatarian, so I replaced the beef with fresh shrimps and my god - best meal of my life.
I’m Indian, so I’m used to a ton of spice in my food, so I thought a simple Italian spice mix wouldn’t do much, but it blended so beautifully with the nuttiness of the black rice I used. This recipe is amazing, don’t hesitate to try it.
Your recipes are great and your explanations so clear. Thanks a lot¡
Glad you like them! 😊
Thank you Dear Lisa !
Finally made these (vegetarian version) ! They looks gorgeous ! Per cooking Bell Peppers helps a lot ! Thanks again
Thank you!!! My mom and grandma would make them and they were wole with the tops off, but I love the halves and your whole process and will cook this dish more because you've made it so simply beautiful😘
I'm so glad! 😊Hope all of you enjoy this recipe!
Wow I love this recipe.
I use leftover rice and anything else I can find in the fridge for stuffed peppers or meatloaf. Your recipe looks tasty. I'm going to make them for our Sunday dinner tomorrow. Thank you for your awesome helpful videos!
I love the whole foods approach to these recipes very healthy and economically viable without sacrificing taste. Thank you!
Of course! Enjoy the recipe 😊
I have just eaten and yet this video makes me feel hungry again! Thank you for sharing this.
Looks like you'll have to make these another time soon! 😊
Well you’ve done it again! Made this for my partner and our nieces. And they LOVED it!!
Keep up the amazing work you do. Please upload more recipes! Much love from Sydney, Australia!! 😊
Yay! Glad this recipe was a success 😊 Stay tuned for tons more content coming your way and be sure to check my website weekly for tons more new recipes: downshiftology.com/
I love stuffed bell peppers and cabbage rolls oh, but I do mine the same way in sort of a deconstructed method. I cook the rice separately but everything else goes in a pot I do the hamburger and onions, garlic, tomatoes Etc when that's mostly done I throw in the largely chopped but still Bitesize bell peppers. If I'm doing cabbage I wait till everything else is completely done and then throwing the chop cabbage since it Cooks down very quickly. I only dirty one pot and it's much easier. I've been watching a lot of your videos today and have saved most of them. We try to eat healthy sometimes LOL I actually much prefer vegetables and beans to most Meats anyways, but the rest of the family not so much. I think the like a lot of these though! So thank you
They look delicious!!!
Hi Lisa, just discovered you and enjoy your videos. I'm older than you so I appreciate your maturity, and healthy recipes. Gonna give peppers a try Tonite in Michigan. Hope your not shaking too much with your mini quakes😬✌️
Welcome to the Downshiftology community Yvonne! 😊 Can't wait for you to try this recipe.
Made this tonight and loved it! the flavor is great and because of the rice in the dish, it is filling enough. I also appreciate that there is not a lot of meat in it, less than 100g per serving as I try to limit my meat consumption. This time I used ground beef because I had some in the freezer but next time I will try pork or ground chicken. Thanks!
So glad you enjoyed this recipe Charlotte! 😊But yes, you can always use any ground meat, or turn it into a vegan option by excluding it. I also have a few substitutions on the blog post as well. Oh, and if you loved this, I would greatly appreciate a quick review on the website. Thanks!
I knew it! 😄
I ❤️love stuffed peppers!
Between these and the garlic shrimp, this is food heaven! ❤️❤️❤️
Woo! 😊 And I have tons more delicious recipes coming up this season so stay tuned!
@@Downshiftology I was wondering, what if you tried putting some of the garlic shrimp inside the stuffed peppers?
Just made this… delicious!!!❤
looks so good. and easy. thank you.
Looking forward to making these Peppers - I have already the Bell Pepper Soup TWICE and it was EXCELLENT!
Can't wait for you to try this!
As im eating one im typing this... yummm these are delightful 😊 thanks girly
Thank you!!! I have been using my boyfriends moms recipe and it’s just not been working out for me, I think this technique and recipe will be perfect. Can’t wait to try this!

Thanks for your kind words! Hope you continue to enjoy Downshiftology recipes to come 😊
Thank you for this delicious recipe of stuffed bell peppers. Being a vegetarian, I intend to replace meat with minced soya with cooked rice, beans, veggies ....! Mohan (Toronto)
Seeing that I had some leftover beef and rice stuffing in the freezer I tried the following. I chopped some courgette,peppers and aubergine; coated them in olive oil and roasted them in a small dish for 20 minutes. I mixed the stuffing with a small pot of yogurt and spread it over the roasted veg. I sliced a tomato on top and sprinkled it all with grated Parmesan. Baked for a further 20 minutes, sprinkled with parsley and sat down on my balcony to a pleasant dinner.
This looks delish! I will make it next week.
Can't wait for you to try these 😊
I love your recipe!!! I get very sleepy when eating rice so I am going to make this recipe with quinoa and left over roasted chiken but will follow all the other steps.
Could you please do another what I eat in a day? I love watching them!
Looks so good! I want to make it today!! 🌺
Hope your stuffed peppers turned out great! 🙂
I like that you can meal prep these! Sadly I have a daughter who won't eat stuffed peppers because of the veggies and ground beef but this is great for my work lunches!
Love your recipes, videos and calm demeanour .... TFS and have a GREAT day!
I am making these tonight!!! Thanks
Hope you enjoy 😊
That will be dinner tomorrow night , thank you
Hope you enjoy 😊
Yum yum 😋. This a healthy alternative for Mexican chiles rellenos. Will make it for my family 😇.
Thank you! I was walking by the bell peppers yesterday and was thinking I need to utilize these now that they are in season and I haven’t had stuffed bell peppers since I was a teenager. I thoroughly appreciate the written portion on your blog ✨🌻
They're such a classic recipe that's so delicious 😊 And I'm glad you enjoy all the tips! Hope you bell peppers come out perfectly
If you don't have fire roasted tomatoes like me, just use reg diced tomatoes and add tomato paste + smoked paprika! It turned out soooo tasty my husband and I were eating the beef + sauce in spoonfuls right out the pan before filling the peppers!
A new technique! LOVE IT! Once assembled, these can be frozen for later, too!!
Yes! These make for a great frozen meal prep 😊
Hi Lisa. Thanks for this recipe and especially the tip about freezing! Take care.
Of course! Always looking for ways to make your life just a little bit easier 😊And you know I'm all for meal prepping!
I made some a couple of weeks ago with lentils and rice and froze them. No cheese though. I forgot they were there. 😂 you cut the peppers in a better fashion than i did! Great tip!
Just made this and my husband loveddddddd it
Wonderful! 😊
Hi I made it directly the way you made it, my family loved it, and thank you for the fun fact
Wonderful! Glad everyone enjoyed these stuffed peppers 😊
