<p>Classic Stuffed Bell Peppers are one of those easy to make meals that doesn’t get nearly enough recognition. They are healthy and delicious!</p>



<p><a href="https://foodrevolution.org/blog/eating-the-rainbow-health-benefits/">Eating the rainbow</a> is always a good idea! This recipe has lots of rainbow colors with the multi-colored peppers, tomatoes, green chilies, and onions.</p>



<p>I used tomatoes that I canned last summer. Canning those tomatoes was a huge job that took an entire day but, the results are delicious! They are also healthier without all of the added crap. The only two ingredients in that jar are tomatoes and salt. Do this once and you will never want to go back to any other.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tips for making Classic Stuffed Bell Peppers</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>The meat and rice filling for these peppers makes at least a quart more than you will need. I usually fill a mason jar and freeze it for later. Just remove from the freezer the night before you plan to make stuffed peppers and allow to thaw in the refrigerator. I love homemade freezer meals!</li></ul>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>I used to boil the peppers a few minutes before filling which cut down on some oven time. I have found that it is easier to skip that step and sometimes add a little water to the baking dish. Adding the water isn’t absolutely necessary for the peppers to cook through because they will release some water while cooking. It will help speed things along if you are impatient like me :)</li></ul>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>I love using Monterey jack cheese for this recipe because it is <g class="gr_ gr_4 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar multiReplace" id="4" data-gr-id="4">a semi-soft cheese</g> and melts perfectly! I mixed it with cheddar for this recipe for flavor.</li></ul>
