Easy Cheesy Grilled Stuffed Bell Peppers Recipe:
Grilled stuffed bell peppers are filling, flavorful, and full of so many different nutrients! You can make them so easily. It's grilling season and these stuffed peppers taste best on the grill. Stuffed peppers can be made in the slow cooker, air fryer, or oven. In general, we prefer red peppers, orange peppers, and yellow peppers. A green bell pepper can be slightly bitter if it is under ripe. There is more natural sweetness in red, orange, and yellow peppers. However, if you prefer green pepper flavor, go ahead and use them.
