    gluten free stuffed bell peppers

    Stuffed bell peppers are a classic dish that can be enjoyed by everyone. But for those looking for a gluten-free option can be hard.

    For the best results, try to choose the freshest bell peppers you can find. Look for bell peppers that are firm, shiny, and have no wrinkles or blemishes.

    🐄 How to Handle Raw Beef

    Thaw raw ground beef on a plate on the lowest shelf of the refrigerator, to avoid dripping onto other foods.
    Keep raw and ready-to-eat meats separate.
    Wash hands thoroughly before and after handling raw ground beef. Wash cutting boards, bowls, and utensils used to prepare raw ground beef with hot soapy water and rinse well.
    Use separate plates to carry raw ground beef patties to the cooking area and cooked patties to the serving area.
    Use a Thermometer to ensure Ground Beef Reaches the Safely Cooked Internal Temperature of 160°F.

    💭 Recipe Variation

    Vegetarians may opt for a filling made of quinoa or lentils mixed with veggies like mushrooms, zucchini, carrots, and spinach. Cheese lovers might add some mozzarella or feta cheese on top before baking.

    Stuffed bell peppers make an excellent main course but can also be served as an appetizer or side dish depending on how large the bell peppers are.
