Cooking Instructions
- 1
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease bottom of glass baking dish that will snugly fit 4 (halved) bell peppers. I used a glass pie dish because the sides help hold the peppers flat for nice presentation.
- 2
Wash, peel and cut yukon gold potatoes into quarters. Boil potatoes in salted water until fork pokes through easily. It usually takes about 30 minutes.
- 3
Drain water and return potatoes to pan. I always save my potato water for making vegan sauces or gravy later.
- 4
Add butter to small sauce pan and melt on low heat with minced garlic. Simmer butter and garlic for about 1 minute or until garlic is fragrant and just starting to turn golden in color.
- 5
Add butter to potatoes and mash by your preferred method. I use a hand masher because it is easy to clean. Drizzle 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil over potatoes and fold into mashed potatoes.
- 6
Lay slices of vegan cheese inside bell peppers. Crumble cheese if you need to in order to make it fit. It will melt into the potatoes when it bakes.
- 7
Scoop mashed potatoes into bell peppers evenly. Drizzle last tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil all over top of stuffed peppers. Sprinkle fresh chopped rosemary, salt and pepper on tops evenly. Make sure you do not skip this step. The salt helps create a golden crust to the top of the potatoes.
- 8
Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Cool for at least 5 minutes before eating. Enjoy!

Stuffed Bell Peppers Stuffed Bell Peppers
A slightly healthier version of stuffed peppers with cauliflower rice instead. We found that the consistency of the meat and cauliflower when cooked together blends well texturally. And the cauliflower completely takes on the flavor of the meat and seasonings. Turned out to be a hit!

Stuffed Bell Peppers Stuffed Bell Peppers
I've been eating this since childhood, and generally each bell pepper (also known as capsicum) is enough for one meal either by itself or with sides. The stuffing is intended for 6 bell peppers, but can be eaten by itself or in like a wrap if you like.

Low Carb Stuffed Bell Peppers Low Carb Stuffed Bell Peppers
We don't need to have rice in stuffed bell peppers for them to be delicious! These low carb peppers are STUFFED with flavor... See what I did there? 😉You can easily sub ground turkey into this recipe, I am just not a fan of ground turkey so never use it. Instead I pick the leanest beef I can find or use venison, bison, or elk. Any ground meet should work relatively well honestly.Lastly, I prefer any color bell pepper except green. Green are the absolute worst lol.#July2026

Makes 6 Stuffed Peppers - Approx 120 Calories per Pepper (Approx 25gms Carbs, 3gms Fat, 10gms Protein)Ingredients Below (add in or take out whatever you like! I change this slightly every time I make them depending what's in my fridge). Adding chili sauce to the filling and or baking sauce is a winner! Adding pre cooked Lentils to the filling is a good one also, add mince beef if you'd like a meaty version & you can't go wrong with some cheese stuffed in the top before you close the lids (I use a Vegan mozzarella or feta)

Vegan mashed potatoes and gravy Vegan mashed potatoes and gravy
It's Thanksgiving, so I figured I would share my favorite #vegan version of homemade mashed potatoes and gravy. It's simple to make and delicious comfort food. I will add photos when I make it later today :)I apologize that the quantities are very non-specific. This recipe is based on my mom's recipe, where you "just know" how much is enough. Everything is tailored to your liking--whether you like thick gravy or thin, lumpy potatoes or creamy, there is no way to go wrong here!
