Meat and Potato Stuffed Peppers recipe image

These stuffed peppers offer a comforting twist on a classic dish by swapping traditional rice for hearty, diced potatoes. The filling combines lean ground beef and pork for a rich, savory flavor profile, enhanced by the unique aromatic kick of Angostura bitters. Shredded cheddar cheese melts into the mixture, creating a creamy, satisfying texture that pairs perfectly with the tender-crisp bell peppers. Boiled briefly before baking, the peppers hold their shape while absorbing the savory juices from the meat filling. This dish is perfect for a cozy family dinner or a substantial side at a potluck. It’s a protein-packed meal that feels indulgent yet home-style simple, making it a reliable favorite for weeknight cooking or casual entertaining.

  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
