Today we’re making Italian stuffed peppers using bell peppers, rice, ground beef, and marinara. These are topped with mozzarella cheese and baked until bubbly. This is a great dish to make for weeknights and a leftover pepper or two makes a great lunch the next day!

If you liked last week's riso al forno, today we used a similar combination for these classic stuffed peppers. The ingredients and print recipe are right in the description. As always, thanks for liking and sharing our videos.
I JUST picked up all ingredients and making this in about 2 hours. Thank you!
That kid is tough! I'm sure that is really good and I'm going to give it a go tomorrow night! I think it will upgrade my grandmother's canned succotash stuffed peppers, but sometimes I make those just cause they remind me of her. This is good downhome eating!
In the UK we call it "Wuster" Sauce" no need for the shire!
I noticed you didn't list it for James, but it’s possible the wine added some flavor he couldn't pick out, and if it was removed, may have increased his score as well? Either way, looks delicious and thank you as always for sharing.
I love that his son rates the dishes.. he’s developing a very good palate! Kudos for including and encouraging your son to try new things..❤
I know that it is an Italian recipe but I do like cheddar cheese on the top of my stuffed peppers instead of Mozzarella or Pecorino Romano cheeses
So good to see little James back from camp. At the rate he's growing, basketball camp sounds like a great idea! I wish my dad had been like you
Jim. Just a side note. Have you and james have reviewed victoria white linen marinara sauce that is currently available and on sale here. At Costco and how it fates next your #1 jar..ty love the who xhannel ,)
Par boil the peps first. I've never done that, but next time I will for sure. Great tip, thanks.
Marmite and Vegemite also amplify Beef Flavour, while adding an umami element!
Back in the 70s my mother, who was from Maine, tried to make stuffed peppers with anchovies. They turned out horrible because she didn't use the anchovies properly and the dish was overseasoned / oversalted and inedible.
I like the way you cut the peppers, I always sliced them the other way but it makes more sense to slice them the way you did!
This looks delicious. Did I hear you right to steam the peppers for 80 minutes?
This looks so delicious! Gotta try it with the ground Turkey 👍🦃
Did u put cooked rice in the pan?
How did I not know about this channel? You are the real deal. My Calabrese nonna, may she rest in peace, would love you. Molto bene Paisano. Loving your cuisine and your technique.
Looks delicious! My mother put buttered bread crumbs on top. They came out crispy like croutons. Nice counterpoint to the soft peppers.
Instead of parboiling, I just nuke my peppers before cooking. It works great!
My family loves stuffed peppers. I think some of your tips will take my recipe up a notch. Thanks!
I really like the way you and James critique the results honestly but gently.
Reminds me of cabbage rolls.
Can’t wait to try it
The idea of stuffed peppers appeals to me but I don’t like them! Just give me the stuffing please. 😄
Hi I am a chef in Toronto Canada ,you should always add your onions garlic ,beef stock add your spices ,definitely add some whit wine ,
It sets the browning and definitely add to flavour ,after every is cooked then you add your rice and cheeses
I make stuffed peppers at least 4 times a year always a hit😁😁
clickbait. there's not a single italian stuffed in any of these peppers 🤬
My new favorite cooking show..cooking these stuffed peppers tomorrow❤
I thought you knew what you were doing. Apparently not! Parsley worms are amazing if you cook them low and slow.
Your amazing! simple easy recipes! Can you please! make a Vodka pasta..
Very very very good! I got peppers from the local farmers market and made these for Sunday dinner, didn’t have the oregano but had an Italian herb mix that did the job. Our basil is really coming on now and the dish came out well. Now trying to freeze the extras. Thanks and Bon Appetite!;)
I’m new to your channel and I love that you honor your grandmothers recipes. I was curious if you plan on doing a series of Italian desserts

I like to drizzle olive oil on the pepper halves then roast the empty peppers for about 25-30 mins in 350° oven on an oiled sheet pan. This gives great carmelization and is much more flavorful than boiling. Recipe looks good but I don’t cook the beef before stuffing. Love your ingredients but just stuff the peppers raw and let them soak up the pepper flavor as the peppers cook. Also, chop up one pepper finely, sauté in oil and add that to the raw beef filling. Yum!
This is hands down the best food channel on you tube.
Creative, inspiring and thoughtful.
Thankyou Sip and Feast!
Big fan from Australia 🇦🇺

Beautiful dish and I’m going to kick up a notch like James suggested! 😉
looks yummy. ill try it your way. i always put raw hamburger mixture in peppers.
just like stuffed cabbage rolls but in peppers. try the veal pork and beef mixture
everything i want to make!!!
Is this different from the recipe in the prior stuffed peppers video you had up? thanks!
Sir, this recipe is delicious! I also made sure to have extra sauce and added more rice for leftovers (like a gumbo). 😬
Thanks for sharing this recipe!
