Fall is perfect stuffed pepper weather and these are a few of our all-time favorite recipes to pull out of the oven.
Peppers in all their forms and colors are wondrous things, ripe with variations in sweetness, heat, and flavor. Their hulls are also perfectly suited for filling with all kinds of ingredients and cooking, whether baking, frying, or braising in the slow cooker. Here are eight stuffed pepper recipes that show off the versatility of the comforting dish, from traditional stuffed bells to spicy jalapeño poppers, and even a few keto-friendly options.
1. Slow Cooker Quinoa-Stuffed Peppers
Chowhound
Healthy and bright-tasting, this recipe is good for vegetarian and omnivore alike—it’s something everybody can come together over. Letting them cook gently for 4 hours in the crockpot turns everything tender (and makes the peppers easy to peel), and makes the cook’s life manageable, too. Get our Slow Cooker Quinoa-Stuffed Peppers recipe.
2. Stuffed Peppers with Feta and Herbs
Chowhound
Basmati rice conspired with cream cheese and feta to yield the most tender, creamiest filling for bell peppers. What’s more, golden raisins and fresh mint give this vegetarian entrée an intriguing Mediterranean quality. Get our Stuffed Peppers with Feta and Herbs recipe.

3. Couscous-Stuffed Bell Peppers

4. Chipotle-Chorizo Jalapeño Poppers
