Stuffed Peppers Recipe Variations and Add-ins

  • Chili option: Feel free to use your favorite chili recipe. Or for a short cut, you can use canned chili from the grocery store; just make sure you check the label for added sugar or preservatives. This is also a great way to use up any leftover chili you have in the freezer!
  • Seasonings: You can add extra chili flavor by adding about a tablespoon of chili powder. For spicy chili, you can add in some chopped jalapeño peppers or red pepper flakes.
  • Beans: Use your favorite! Clack beans, white beans, chili beans, red or dark kidney beans are all good options.
  • Toppings: With this stuffed pepper recipe, you can use any of favorite chili toppings, such as sour cream, shredded cheese green onions.
