Can I add cheese to this?
Stuffed peppers often have cheese on top, though adding cheese is optional.
If you want a cheese fix, add about 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese to each pepper 10 minutes before the cooking time is up.
Can a different type of meat be used?
Ground turkey
Ground chicken
Ground Italian sausage
Can I make this vegan?
Use soy crumbles instead of beef
Or a can of pinto beans
Or add extra veggies such as chopped squash or asparagus to the rice mixture.
