When choosing these, I actually go with the hues that are on sale. Yellow, red, and orange peppers are a little bit sweeter than green pepper. Whether you use ground sausage or hamburger meat, it must first be cooked on a skillet pan. Before stuffing, add the other ingredients. pSpanish cooks were the first to prepare edstuff peppers. Piquillo peppers are used there. The tops of bell peppers that have been cored out are generally used in the US.
Can I stuff peppers without blanching them first?
Although it is not required, bell peppers can be blanched, cooled, and then stuffed. This technique softens the exteriors while removing part of the bitterness. When baking stuffed green peppers in the oven, I do this.
How do you soften peppers quickly?
You can use your microwave in place of boiling water! To soften bell peppers, heat them for 5 minutes on high with a plastic wrap cover. Take the dish out and the plastic wrap off before stuffing it or eating it plain.
Although optional, diced onions and/or diced tomatoes are a terrific addition. You can only use tomato sauce if you prefer them to be really simple.
Spaghetti sauce is a fantastic substitute for a can of regular tomato sauce! If I have this on hand, I use it since it will give the food extra flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 bell peppers seeds removed, cut in half
- 1 lb ground beef or ground sausage, or half and half
- 1 onion diced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp basil
- 1 tsp parsley
- 2 tomatoes diced
- 1 c rice cooked
- 1 c cheese shredded

Steps
In a rice cooker, prepare one cup of rice. Brown your ground beef with diced onions, seasonings, and a medium pan.
Add cooked rice, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and half a cup of cheese.
Bell peppers should be split lengthwise, with the centers removed. Place each one with a scoop of this ground beef mixture inside the air fryer basket.
Put as many as will fit without overlapping. For 10 minutes, heat at 350 degrees.
Spread the remaining cheese on top and keep cooking for another 5 minutes, or until the peppers are soft.
