Colorful, hearty, and just the right amount of indulgent, these stuffed peppers feel like comfort food with a fresh twist.
Stuffed with cheesy rice, ground meat (or a meatless option), herbs, and spice, they crisp up beautifully in Fritaire's glass bowl ā and you get to watch the cheese bubble, brown, and melt to perfection.
This oneās a conversation starter at the table ā and a reminder that nourishing food can still be fun.
