Stuffed bell peppers, the name itself, may bring water to your mouth! But don’t worry, these peppers are not hot like other peppers. In fact, they are not hot at all.
If we talk about the looks, these peppers somewhat resemble tomatoes. They are thick and juicy. And so, they make a good combination with beef, chicken, garlic, and cheese. You can have any stuffing of your choice.
This dish is quite popular around the world! If you enjoy Peruvian flavors, you will love these stuffed bell peppers. If you haven’t tried it, I’d say you should at least once.
Have some ground chicken or beef that’s leftover? Time for dinner!
