Most Common Questions Regarding Stuffed Peppers

What is a stuffed pepper?

The most traditional stuffed peppers contain meat, rice and vegetables. And are generally finished off with some kind of tomato-based sauce and cheese. YUM!

Can you make chicken bacon ranch stuffed peppers ahead of time?

This is one of those recipes that works well for freezing. Make a double batch and put one in the freezer for later. Great to take for a potluck or to a friend that is in need of a break from cooking because they are sick or are a new Mom that is a bit tired.

Do I have to boil my peppers before stuffing them?

This is purely a preference situation. I do not boil mine first, but my grandmother did. She called it blanching and I didn’t know what that meant or how to do it until recently. When making this recipe, I prefer to save time and bake the peppers at the same time.

Should I cover stuffed peppers when baking?

Covering your chicken bacon ranch stuffed peppers with foil for the first 30 minutes helps to keep them moist and the flavors in.

How do you keep stuffed peppers from getting soggy?

One way to make sure they don’t get soggy is to make sure you don’t overcook them. And don’t add too much fluid to the insides before baking.

What side goes with stuffed peppers?

Salads are a great side dish for enjoying chicken bacon ranch stuffed peppers. Sweet potato fries also make a great choice. Other things to consider are cauliflower, artichokes, and other roasted vegetables.

How do I store the leftover stuffed peppers?

Once the peppers are done cooking, you can store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer. They can stay fresh in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days or freeze them up to 6 months.
