Instant Pot Stuffed Peppers With Meat And Rice
If you’re a long time reader of the blog, you know I’ve been working hard behind the scenes on a new cookbook full of frugal Instant Pot recipes. During the process I’ve been cooking up a storm. Today I thought I’d share my recipe for Instant Pot Stuffed Peppers. It’s a whole meal in a pepper including meat and rice and it’s absolutely delicious. In the end I decided not to include it in this particular cookbook because buying bell peppers can get quite pricey. I still wanted to share the recipe though because it’s quite tasty. And who knows, it may make an appearance in a future cookbook.
