Hm I should try that... seems like it took forEVER for them to get even a little tender though. Maybe this works because they're unfilled for the first 15?
Yep exactly. They cook a lot quicker without the filling in them since the heat can get directly to the pepper. If you like them really soft, maybe give it an extra ten minutes.
"hey look it's healthy bc it's in a vegetable" except a pepper is a fruit and the stuffing is still not healthy (enjoy your terrible poops bc u ain't eating enough fiber from leafy greens!!)
Referring to all the people who use peppers in cheesesteaks and claim authenticity. I assure you as a native Philadelphian, peppers are not standard on cheesesteaks.
I make a version of this for my husband for his keto meal prep. I Haven't made it in a while because bell peppers got expensive. They're cheap again so I think I'll surprise him with this soon!
Electric fences might be a solution for you. Harbor Freight has an inexpensive electric fence mesh blanket that's more like a screen. It's 3 or 4 feet tall, and fairly inexpensive. They sell it by the roll, but other places sell it by the foot. My neighbor used it around his chicken coops and free-range area, in an area about 50 x 50 feet. It kept foxes and coyotes out, and mostly kept the chickens in, until it blew over and they flew away. No idea how/why they didn't fly out before that. 2/2
Two on the left are pretty okay, for eating healthier you want to manage your carbs first, fat second, and the only time there's such a thing as too much fiber is if it interferes with the absorption of your meds (which can happen with Metamucil)
They sound fairly healthy in terms of being low carb (rice and couscous versions aside), good portion control, and including veggies. Like the other person though, Iâm no dietitian
You go for it. I once got written up/reported to the psychiatrist while in rehab (depression after a breakup) for not wanting to eat quinoa stuffed peppers. The peppers alone will make me s*** fire, and quinoa⌠well⌠just give me iceberg lettuce for a salad or hell even plain white rice! We arenât all built for spicy foodS! Whoa⌠I kind of went off there. Let us know how they turn out.
But... they have very little in common? The bit that maks you S*** fire as you put it is the capsaicin. They are the same family as tomatoes and eggplants. The word "pepper" has nothing to do with the fire you see from "spicy foods".
IgA Nephropathy and Minimal Change Glomerulonephritis. (Kidney diseases). And something that makes me vomit for days if I try to drink beer. Very bland diet, but I am ok with that. Low-mild sodium intake.
Why rice in the pizza one? I feel like you could just load it up with more varied pizza toppings for a better result. Now if you made a risotto and put it in, that MAY work. But just plain rice? No thanks.
Starchy bulk to replace the dough perhaps? Most pizza toppings really wouldnât work as well as a filling of volume while maintaining the perception of pizza.
If the idea is to add a carb for dough, I'd rather they just fill the whole thing with cheese and sauce and put a thin layer of dough over the top like a pie crust.
Problem with cheese is consistency at 2 inches of bulk depth. Eating 2 inches of mozzarella/provolone isn't my idea of pizza. Nor is it the best of meals flavor or nutritional wise. Now rice with lavers of cheese and sauce (or having the rice cooker with tomato powder) I can get behind. If you prefer otherwise that's cool. But I don't agree with calling the approach a mistake.
I meant in addition to the toppings already discussed. It wouldn't be just cheese. It'd be cheese, sauce, and pizza toppings inside. Hell, just layer some lasagna pasta sheets for carb content. That would add variety, structure, and would fit the theme better than plain rice.

Add a little pesto to the caprese

I don't like peppers.

I use quinoa rather than rice but stuffed peppers are a great easy work lunch if you make like 12 of them on a weekend.

The cheesesteak and caprese sound amazing

Put gnocchi instead of rice, and the pizza would be perfect

In my experience bell peppers take FOREVER to cook in the oven, so you gotta boil them first to pull this off, and it's a huge pain.
Gaelwyn
Cook them in the oven at 400F for 15 minutes before filling them, then cook another 10 minutes with the filling.

Cheesesteak stuffed pepper?! Sign me the hell up
erbiumyttriumytterbium
Alas, the moneygrubbers have corrupted the cheesesteak in the same way they did with bagels. No Amoroso's? Not a cheesesteak or anything close to it.

I understand this is different tho being a stuffed pepper anyway. Also, ribeye only. No sirloin.
dtallen243
Finally a voice of reason. Ribeiro, cheese wiz or provolone (wiz = superior), onions are optional.

The healthier one sounds to be the Greek one, but I'm no dietitian.
YourMotherApproves
The caprese has my vote on the other healthy option
iktome99
Cured meats and 25% of your meal being cheese isn't usually the healthiest choice

These are sweet bell peppers which have zero capsaicin.

It isnât JUST the capsaicin that causes the issue, thatâs what I am saying. Too much of a tomato based sauce will cause the same issue.

I agree, some kind of pasta. But it's also understandable when the classic "stuffed pepper" typically uses rice as a base.

"varied pizza toppings" just say cheese

Mushrooms, onions, sausage, etc

Yess! It's all about the ratios! That's my guess, anyway (haven't tried it yet).

Why in the world would you put rice in a pizza flavored stuffed pepper? You put italian sausage in that.

Neurisko
Rice is a neutral filler that helps balance the other greasy/spicy ingredients.
Pyrokitchen
Do it with orzo.
CrankyCook
What about pineapple?
MEDdMI
To balance out the grease from the other ingredients. I would much rather eat it with rice than sausage, even if rice doesn't normally go with pizza.

Call me crazy but I think I'd top it with breadcrumbs.

This is the way.

Nah fries in everything is a European thing

So.. fries between two buttered slices of white bread? âchip buddyâ and in conclusion fries in between nothing is a European thing.

Ah fries between nothing is definitely American haha. But fries on/between shit is definitely European

Every order you get in a nonfancy restaurant in the US Congress with fries unless you specify otherwise generally lol
