The Easiest Stuffed Pepper Recipe!

Growing up in the Midwest, I was raised on stick to your ribs comfort food. This was certainly one of those dishes that I’d qualify as that! Stuffed peppers are so easy to make and I’ve found that kids of almost all ages enjoy them. Even better if you can get them to help you.

While you will find in other parts of the Middle East a lot of stuffed vegetables it really isn’t very common in Morocco. So these really don’t have any connection to Moroccan recipes, they are purely a memory of childhood for me.

What else can you use to stuff these peppers?

In this recipe I used ground beef and brown rice but you don’t need to!

• You could use ground turkey or ground chicken,
• mix in some more spicy peppers or even a jar of salsa.
• Use white rice instead of brown rice.
• Use barley instead of rice.
• Dice up other vegetables to cook with the ground beef – like carrots or peas.

I think you’ll enjoy this fast and easy recipe too.  I think it’s a great dish to warm you up, even on a cool spring night (if you’re so lucky!).

What do you serve with stuffed peppers?

The great thing about these is you really have most of the food groups combined in one. But if you want to add a little more volume to your meal I have served mine with green beans or a side salad to balance out the meat. I also tend to serve tomato sauce (just a simple marinara) on the side as I tend to like mine with a little more liquid.

A light soup like this Moroccan shrimp soup could also be really tasty.
