Tips and Substitutions

This recipe does not call for boiling the peppers before baking however you will add some water into the bottom of the dish. Covering it with foil and baking for 45 minutes will give a similar result to boiling them and is much easier.

Store any leftover peppers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The leftovers are great for lunch or dinners during the week.

If you do not have ground beef: try ground chicken, turkey or sausage in its place. Don’t have or like quinoa? Use the same amount of rice!
