Recipes Main Dishes Stuffed Stuffed Bell Pepper Recipes Green Bell Peppers stuffed with Tomato Lentil Couscous 4.4 (88) 73 Reviews 3 Photos This is a very beefy recipe for stuffed peppers, so be forewarned! We like to cut the peppers lengthwise, making shallow boats out of them instead of cups. Either way works well for this recipe. Recipe by Catherine Updated on July 14, 2022 Save Saved!
