Can I serve the stuffed peppers with minced meat also with rice?

Absolutely! I like to use whole grain orzo in this recipe for a nice Mediterranean twist, but a stuffed bell pepper with minced meat and rice is just as delicious. Use cooked basmati, brown, or pandan rice and mix it into the minced meat mixture before it goes in the oven.

Easy

Stuffed peppers are really comfort food: colorful, full of flavor, and super easy to make. We combine tender ground beef and pork with creamy cubes of mozzarella, orzo, and fresh cherry tomatoes. You can also replace the orzo with rice if Greek pasta is not your thing. Simply slide the dish into the oven and let the heat do all the work. So easy!
