Vegan Stuffed Peppers! My vegetarian take on Mom’s classic meat stuffed peppers recipe. Bell peppers filled with vegan ground beef, rice, veggies then baked until tender in tomato sauce. Ultimate easy comfort food family meal. Perfect any night. Gluten free!

How to make  Vegan Stuffed Peppers

For ‘meat’ filling: Fry onions and cabbage in a skillet over medium heat with the oil and a pinch of salt and pepper for 7 minutes or so until browning and softening. Stir in garlic and cook for a minute. 

In a mixing bowl add vegan ground beef, cold cooked rice, onion and cabbage mixture, fennel, Italian seasoning and salt. Mix well. I usually mix by hand. Set aside.

For peppers: while veggies are cooking slice the tops off peppers about 1/4 inch. Remove seeds and white membranes ( reserve tops for another recipe )!

Stuff the peppers with meat filling. Place in baking dish on top of sauce. Cover tightly with tin foil and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Remove from oven, uncover. Let sit for 10 minutes or so before serving. Enjoy!
