Cooking Tips For Nailing This Recipe

Pressure Building Time: As it goes with the Instant Pot it takes time for the pressure to build up. Mine typically takes about 10-15 minutes.
Switch It Up: If you don’t want to use egg you can use plenty of other ingredients to stuff your Instant Pot peppers.

Optional

Add Flavor: To add more flavor to your stuffed pepper you can add italian seasoning, fresh cilantro, cayenne pepper or chili powder.
Cheese: Use cheddar, pepper jack or your favorite shredded cheese to top your stuffed egg peppers. You can also add a little sour cream at the end for added variety.

Variations

Add Ground Meat: You can stuff your red bell peppers with lean ground beef, ground chicken or ground turkey, this goes nice when combines with brown rice or white rice.
Rice: If adding uncooked rice to the large bell peppers, cook the stuffed pepper pieces for 10 minutes. If adding cooked rice or cauliflower rice pressure cook for 4 minutes.
Tomatoes: If adding a combination for ground meat and rice, you can also throw in some diced tomatoes or tomato sauce into the mixing bowl for a tangy twist.
Egg Mixture: You can crack one egg into each pepper half or crack your eggs into a large mixing bowl and mix if you don’t want the yoke and egg white separate.

Best Way To Store Stuffed Peppers

Refrigeration: After cooking, allow the stuffed peppers to cool to room temperature. Transfer them to an airtight container or cover the baking dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate within 2 hours of cooking, and consume within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
Freezing: For longer storage, place cooled stuffed peppers in a freezer-safe container or wrap them individually in plastic wrap. Alternatively, use a single layer in a freezer-safe bag. Label with the freezing date and store for up to 2-3 months.
Thawing and Reheating: When ready to enjoy frozen stuffed peppers, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat in the oven at a low temperature until warmed through, ensuring the internal temperature reaches a safe level for consumption.

By following these simple steps, you can keep your cooked stuffed peppers fresh and flavorful for future meals.
