Stuffed peppers in a slow cooker - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute the minced meat with ground turkey, chicken, or even plant-based alternatives like lentils or textured vegetable protein (TVP) for a vegetarian option.
Replace the minced meat with quinoa, lentils, or extra mushrooms. Ensure all other ingredients, like the broth (if used), are vegetarian-friendly.
Absolutely! Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30-40 minutes in a covered dish with a little water or tomato sauce at the bottom to keep them moist.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
Yes, stuffed peppers freeze well. Cool completely, wrap individually, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.
Serve with a fresh green salad, crusty bread, or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. A dollop of sour cream or yogurt adds richness.
Swap the rice for cauliflower rice or omit it entirely, adding more minced meat or vegetables to the filling for volume.
Yes, bell peppers of any color work well, or try poblano peppers for a milder twist. Adjust cooking time if using smaller or larger peppers.
