Not The Same Old Stuffed Peppers Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Caterpillergrrl / All my dishes 1 year, 4 months ago There may be no going back to traditional stuffed peppers after trying these. They are savory and surprisingly filling, and oh so yummy! I usually add a side of orange glazed baby carrots. My whole family loves these. Even my husband who doesn't like cottage cheese....

Made these today. Waiting to cool for a taste test.

Hope you like the picture. Only had 4 peppers and was at that use it or loose it stage. Used diced tomato instead of stewed. It's what I had on hand.

Used ricotta cheese, again, what I had on hand.

Topped with freshly shredded mozzarella cheese.

These are very good for a meatless stuffed pepper.
A little bit on the soft side because of the loss of structure of not having any meat. But that little softness is to be expected.

This sounds really good! I like the idea of boiling the peppers to soften them a bit! The filling sounds great also! I've been looking for a good stuffed pepper recipe, so I may have to try this one!
