Un-Stuffed Green Peppers . . . all the flavor of stuffed green peppers, but made easier, all in one skillet.
We have picked a boatload of green peppers from our garden the last week, so I have been trying to come up with ways to serve them. I found a Stuffed Green Pepper recipe in one of my many cookbooks, tweaked it a bit, and came up with this yummy dinner recipe.
The best part about this version of stuffed peppers is that you don’t actually have to stuff the peppers. Truth be told, I stuffed some of this mixture into a couple of peppers and baked them. The verdict: more work and not as good. My husband and oldest son’s love green peppers but they didn’t liked the baked pepper. They thought it might be OK served in a fresh bell pepper, so you could try that if you want. But we love it served right out of the skillet.
My entire family loved these skillet “stuffed” green peppers. In fact, my 7 year old son’s actual comment was “Mom, this is the best thing you’ve ever made. . . well, in a while.” (This had nothing to due with the fact that he was starving, and he knew we were having cake for dessert, I’m just sure of it.)
My four year old even had seconds. I call that a win! I served this with tossed salad, and my homemade ranch dressing. It makes for an easy, delicious, and healthy meal. Just look at that cheesy goodness. Oh my.
If you like stuffed green peppers but want something a little easier, give this recipe a try!
I have made this recipe with both white and brown rice, and both ways are fantastic.
All the flavors of stuffed peppers in a skillet meal. You can substitute 3/4 cup white rice for the 1/2 cup of brown rice. It will cook faster.Un-Stuffed Green Peppers

my sister and i have done that for many years.. it is good that way.. she can get her boys to eat it better made in the skillet……
You can freeze green peppers.just top and cut in half get out seeds and choop or just leave in halves and freeze in a plastic bag. When needed just use out of bag.
I actually tried this last year with some peppers from a neighbor’s garden. It works great!
