Stuffed bell peppers, in a nutshell, are bell peppers stuffed with hamburger. With that in mind, I follow the two rules of thumb in making juicy hamburgers when I make my stuffed bell peppers. First,  I only use ground meat with good fat content such as that from chuck. Lean maybe in but ground beef with at least 18% percent fat ratio is best for moist and flavorful meatballs, hamburgers and meatloaves. Second, I carefully handle the meat mixture when mixing in the seasonings and additions as over manipulation results to dry, crumbly meat filling. Baked in a fresh tomato sauce, these stuffed bell peppers are always a hit at the dinner table. Give them a try and let me know what you think.

Stuffed bell peppers are a delicious dinner that is hearty and filling!
