There has been a major lack in "dinner" recipe posts lately, so I am remedying that with these super simple and easy stuffed peppers! Stuffed peppers are on of those dishes that can fit any cuisine, craving, dietary need. Just throw in what you have orΒ feel like having in a bowl, mix it up, and scoop it into some peppers, then bake. You really can't mess them up!

I'm surprised I've never shared stuffed peppers here before. I'm pretty fond of them and have been since a very young age. One of the first (actually I think it was the first), recipes I ever made completely by myself, was a stuffed pepper recipe from Giada! (It has to be that one...but I didn't use zucchini). The orzo, cheese, mint, and tomatoes, always in green bell peppers! My family loved them! Obviously, I haven't made them in years (Celiac and the whole no dairy thing), but those peppers will always have my heart!

But these stuffed peppers are nice and allergy-friendly πŸ˜‰ I'd say these are the perfect "Meatless Monday" meal! They're hearty and healthy, totally plant-based. I love kidney beans just for the heartiness factor. They are such a substantial bean (but of course, if they aren't cooked properly, you can die! Bean death is no good!) But, when they are cooked and lovely, they taste so good! I love their distinct taste and they really will please a meat lover in a plant-based meal!

So fill your belly up with these wonderful meatless Cajun peppers. So easy to make and an all-in-one main star to your dinner plate! Pair them with some rice or maybe even some plantains πŸ˜‰

Cajun Stuffed Bell Peppers

Cajun Stuffed Bell Peppers | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 #peppers #dinner #cajun #glutenfree #vegan #meatless

Ingredients: (serves 4)

+ 1 15oz Can of Red Kidney Beans (no-salt added, rinsed and drained)

+ 1 15oz Can of Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes (no-salt added)

+ 1 small (2.25ox) Can of Sliced Black Olives (drained and rinsed)

+ 3 Medium (about 1 Β½ Cups) of Chopped White Mushrooms

+ 1 Tsp Onion Powder

+ Β½ Tsp Garlic Powder

+ ΒΌ Tsp Cumin

+ ΒΌ Tsp Black Pepper

+ Β½ Tsp Sweet Paprika

+ 1 Tsp Dried Oregano

+ Β½ Tsp Dried Marjoram

+ 2 TB Nutritional Yeast

+ 4 Large Bell Peppers

Directions:

+ Preheat the oven to 375ΒΊF.

+ In a large mixing bowl, combine the beans, tomatoes (with the juice), olives, mushrooms, and all the spices. Mix and mingle.

+ Wash and cut the tops of the peppers off. Then core out the seeds and white insides (I just use my hands).

+ Place these peppers in a baking pan with a bit of water (just to keep the bottoms moist). Then fill each pepper to the top with the filling.

+ Cover the pan lightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover the peppers, and bake for another 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve!

Back to those first stuffed peppers I ever made. I have a funny story to tell. They called for lime zest, and since I was still navigating and learning my cooking skills, I did something....weird. Since I had no zester, I thought I would just "chop" up the lime peel super small and throw that in. So I did just that. Chopped up bits of the lime peel in to tiny squares and threw them in the filling.

Cajun Stuffed Bell Peppers | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 #peppers #dinner #cajun #glutenfree #vegan #meatless

This was the first time I ever made the peppers and my family loved them, but my dad mentioned that he'd rather have them with out lime next time. I didn't know why, the lime juice gave it a great flavor, but he said he didn't like the bits he was getting. Haha! So gross! From then on though, I never zested wrong πŸ˜‰

Cajun Stuffed Bell Peppers | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 #peppers #dinner #cajun #glutenfree #vegan #meatless

Biting into pieces of lime peel is not very pleasant. But you don't have to worry about zesting anything here! Seriously just open some cans and pour in some spices and bam, perfect peppers! Happy eating my friends!

So tell me:

+ Do you remember the first real recipe you ever made by yourself?

+ Favorite Food Network chef? Gotta go with my girl Rachel Ray! EVOO and her garbage bowl. She's the best πŸ˜‰ (30 minute meals that actually take way longer!)

    I have no memory of this, but according to my mom I decided I wanted to bake a cake all by myself when I was 5 years old - before I could read well enough to use a recipe. She gave me the raw materials and let me go to town, and, she claims, after several attempts I finally produced the best white cake she's ever tasted to this very day. Too bad I don't have the recipe.

    Death by bean sounds awful! I'd never heard of it and am so glad you brought this to my attention. I'm actually having a dish with kidney beans in it for dinner right now and definitely paused to eye those cheeky beans before continuing to eat my food. I haven't had stuffed peppers in years but they're so tasty- I forgot how much I loved peppers as they are (I don't like pepper flavoured things, just peppers themselves!) and am excited to make lots of yummy things with them. I have most of the ingredients for this so I'll probably try it sometime this week! The first real thing I made by myself was probably cupcakes from one of Nigella Lawson's cookbooks. And fave food network chef has got to be Ina Garten- she is WAY too cute!

    I'm a sucker for a stuffed pepper and I make them often since I am Paleo most of the time. I will make these and just omit the mushrooms out of mine since I don't like them. Maybe I'll double up on the tomatoes! Great recipe!

    I'll admit my mom made stuffed peppers all the time in the 70s and 80s when I was growing up and I hated them with a passion -- but they were i green peppers. But, I love the red ones AND the cajun twist you whipped up -- I'm going to try!

    My mom's whole family is Cajun, from Louisiana and all, so you'd think I'd have a braver palette for spices, but no. But I could definitely tone down the spices a bit, and I think these would be great! I do like that they are a little self-contained meal πŸ™‚

    Yes, peppers were meant to be stuffed, and I definitely wouldn't want bean death. I'm glad you mentioned kidney beans as it made me realize how I should try to diversify more - I've been solely eating chickpeas and black beans. I seriously can't remember the first dish I ever made on my own...I'm sure it wasn't that memorable ha
