For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with a plant-based ground or a mixture of cooked lentils and finely chopped vegetables. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses! A sprinkle of shredded cheddar or mozzarella over the peppers during the last 15 minutes of baking adds a wonderfully cheesy element. To prevent the bread from becoming soggy, lightly toast the bread cubes before adding them to the beef mixture. If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the beef stuffing.
