This quick, easy, and versatile dish is perfect for dinner parties. The great thing about stuffed peppers is that you can tailor each one to the tastes of particular diners with minimum fuss.

Here are 5 stuffed pepper combinations to help get you started.
Rice
Peppers stuffed with rice is a great combination. Cook the rice beforehand with peas and sweetcorn and flavor with salt and chopped tomato.
Cheese and Bacon
For the meat-eaters, you can fry some crispy bacon and cut it up into small pieces. Scatter into the peppers and cover with cheddar, Emmental, or mozzarella cheese.
Roast Chicken
Another great meat option is roast chicken. Roast some chicken, season with salt, pepper, thyme, and sage, and put it in the pepper before grilling.
Breadcrumbs
Fry little ground pieces of bread in olive oil until they are crispy. Season with salt, pepper, Italian herbs, rosemary, and sage and mix together. Fill the peppers with the crispy breadcrumbs before layering the mixture with cheddar or blue cheese.
Mushroom
A great all-round option is peppers stuffed with mushroom. Oven bake portobello mushrooms, stuff the pepper with it along with breadcrumbs and top with cheese if desired.
