What is a cubanelle pepper?
It’s a light green pepper that has a really mild and sweet taste. Most grocery stores will have them near the jalapenos. But you can use a red bell pepper if you have trouble finding them.
Can you make the stuffed pepper soup ahead of time?
It makes for a great crockpot meal as well. To make it in the crockpot: brown the beef and transfer to slow cooker. Add everything except for the rice. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Make the rice and mix into the slow cooker.
Can you freeze it?
Yes! You can freeze the soup with or without the rice in it. Place the soup in an airtight container and transfer to the freezer. Defrost in the fridge overnight and reheat the soup on the stovetop. Or microwave the soup in the microwave from frozen.
What to serve with this stuffed pepper soup?
