Tips and Tricks

Substitutions

Note: If using substitutions, don’t forget to check your points

1. If cream of mushroom soup is unavailable, cream of chicken is a perfect substitute.

2. For a different twist, try mozzarella or pepper jack instead of cheddar cheese.

3. Brown rice can be swapped for white rice or even quinoa for a change in texture.

4. Feel free to use red, yellow, or orange peppers for a splash of color.

Tips

1. Assemble the peppers ahead of time and keep them refrigerated until ready to bake.

2. These peppers can be frozen before baking. Just thaw overnight in the fridge and bake as directed.

3. Store leftover stuffed peppers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
