Stuffed peppers are one of my husband’s favorite meals and they always come out tender and flavorful. The sour cream sauce makes this dish unique to other stuffed pepper recipes I’ve tried.

This is a great meal to make on the weekends when the whole family is home. Or prep ahead for a hearty midweek meal.

More about this dish

To make the stuffed pepper mixer you just need a few ingredients: ground beef, chopped onion, cooked rice, chili sauce and spices. This dish is not spicy. If you you want to kick it up a notch feel free to add hot sauce or red pepper flakes.

I like to serve stuffed peppers with a side of mashed potatoes and spoon the extra sauce over everything. And if you happen to have any left over just refrigerate with some of the reserved sauce to heat up in the microwave later.
