When it comes to the bell pepper types (I mean, the colors), I tend to choose the red ones. They are the sweetest and look really beautiful when served.

For the meat instead, I usually go for ground beef and chicken. The combination can be any, so feel free to use other meat you like such as turkey. When it comes to rice instead, you may want to try the cooked cauliflower instead. The stuffed pepper turn delicious, too!
