One of my favorite dishes from childhood that I still love making today. Mom used to make them with meat and rice stuffing- but since I have a *veggie* in the house- I also found a delicious verison stuffed with lentils!! Both are delish- thanks for sharing your recipe!!

Do you just leave out the meat if you make them vegetarian style? My mom used to make them kind of mexican style with blackbeans and rice and melted cheese. Very yum.

Yours look great!

Yes you can certainly just leave out the meat; you could add more veggies too

I have made stuffed peppers with sausage but never suppresatta. Mmm….

Our motto around here is that suppressata goes with everything

Gosh Michelle, I haven’t had these in YEARS, but thanks for the reminder. I know what we’re having tomorrow.

I hadn’t had them in years either! I’m so glad I made them

Oh I love anything and everything stuffed. These stuffed pepper look so delicious, and love the vibrant color too.

I love the colors too; if I had found some green ones, they’d be mixed in there too

I like them all. Greek ones with rice and loads of oil, meaty USian ones, cous cous ones, bread-based stuffing, lamb, beef, pork, sausage… is there one in that list you wouldn’t eat? Not me…

Me neither, Judith. I just love stuffed peppers no matter how you stuff ‘em

Yummy! I so agree with you about the readiness of taste buds – I missed out on a ton of great foods (especially vegetables) when I was a kid, just because stuff didn’t work for me. The list is endless and includes stuffed peppers, asparagus, salad dressing, any juice with pulp and many other things.

Hah, we have a lot in common on that list (except I think I always loved salad dressing)

Stuffed peppers here are made without the meat – just bread, egg and cheese, then sauteed and cooked in sauce on the stove. At least that’s how O’s mom makes them. Yours look yummy too!

Yup, that’s pretty much how P’s mom makes them, only the sauce seems to be optional (I prefer them in sauce as I love that tomato and pepper mix)

This is *exactly* what was on our menu tonight! Crazy!

I ate them as a kid…sort of. I’d only eat the “meatball” inside and leave the pepper for someone else

And our recipe is virtually identical to yours. Go figure! Though I’m sure your peppers were cheaper. Mine were about $1.50 a piece! I can’t wait for summer.

Too funny! And yes, I was an “inside” eater as well…also with pigeons. I know you know what I mean

I enjoy stuffed peppers now matter what’s in them or on them! The nice thing about them is that the recipe(s) can easily be modified to feed 1 or 21 and it can be tweaked to feed carnivores, vegetarians and vegans alike.

So true, Joanne! I’m generally a fan of stuffed things…I love mixing different flavors together when I’m eating, so all the better when it’s already done for me in the dish
