Whether or not your family eats meat, everyone in your home will devour these deliciously simple vegetarian stuffed bell peppers!
About three years ago I shared my original Easy Cheesy Stuffed Bell Pepper recipe, which included Italian sausage. The next year, my family switched to a vegetarian diet and I’ve been perfecting this version ever since. The essence of this meal is the same (still cheesy and satisfying), but it’s a yummy alternative if you’re trying to cut back on meat.
Here are a few more easy, mouthwatering vegetarian recipes I love making: Instant Pot Cheesy Potatoes, Loaded Nachos, Enchilada Casserole, and Vegetable Soup
