These stuffed peppers are a regular in my kitchen because they are so filling and easy to put together. The bulgur adds a wonderful texture that pairs perfectly with the ground pork and fresh herbs, making every bite really satisfying.

If you want to save time during the week, you can prep the filling a day ahead. Just keep it in the fridge until you are ready to stuff the peppers and bake them for a fresh meal.

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and lightly grease a large baking dish.

Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes from the inside.

Add the ground pork to the skillet and cook it until it is browned, making sure to break it into small crumbles as it cooks.

Spoon the pork mixture into each bell pepper until they are full and stand them up in the prepared baking dish.

Remove the foil, sprinkle the cheese over the peppers, and bake for another 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. You can also freeze these peppers after baking, just make sure to let them cool completely before wrapping them tightly to keep them fresh.
