Skillet Stuffed Peppers Recipe
This easy skillet stuffed peppers recipe is perfect for camping or home — one pan, hearty flavors, melty cheese, and zero complaints.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced (optional)
- 1 small onion minced (optional)
- 1 lb ground pork or sausage
- 14 oz canned tomatoes juice included
- 2 Tbsp tomato paste
- 1 zucchini diced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 4 cups rice prepared
- 6 sweet bell peppers
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Place the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once hot, add the onion, garlic, and ground sausage. Cook until the sausage is well-browned, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add the canned tomatoes, tomato paste, diced zucchini, and seasoning. Stir until well combined.
- Stir in the rice and cook until tomato juice is mostly absorbed.
- Cut the tops off of the sweet bell peppers and remove the insides.
- Scoop the sausage and rice mixture into the peppers.
- Wrap the skillet in foil and place in the hot coals of the fire to bake for 30 minutes or place bell peppers in a small casserole dish, cover, and bake for 30 minutes in the oven at 400 degrees F.
- Remove the tinfoil and then sprinkle cheese over peppers. Continue baking for 10-15 minutes, until cheese is completely melted.
Notes
- Prepare as much of this dish as you can at home, before going camping. We like to have the rice already cooked and stored in a freezer bag.
- You could also cook up the sausage beforehand and simply mix and reheat the ingredients while camping. This makes preparing this delicious meal while camping even easier!
- A grill or oven-safe dish works to make this recipe as well. You could even wrap the peppers in aluminum foil, creating a foil packet meal that would be delicious!
