Can I freeze Instant Pot stuffed peppers?

Absolutely, These freeze like a dream. Just cool them completely, wrap individually in foil, and pop in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. When you're ready, thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat in a 350°F oven for about 20 minutes. The peppers might soften a bit more, but the flavors stay amazing.

How do I adjust cook time for smaller peppers?

Got petite peppers? No problem. Reduce the pressure cook time to 8 minutes instead of 10. Just keep an eye on them - you want tender but not mushy. My rule? If a knife slides in easily, they're done. Smaller peppers also cook faster because the filling isn't as dense.

Can I make these vegetarian?

You bet, I've swapped the beef for a mix of quinoa and black beans (so good) or even meatless crumbles. Just use vegetable broth instead of beef broth. The Instant Pot works its magic no matter what protein you choose.

Why do my peppers sometimes split during cooking?

Oh, I've been there. Usually means they're packed too tightly or the peppers were extra thin-skinned. Next time, leave about 1/4 inch space at the top of each pepper - the filling expands as it cooks. And pick peppers that feel firm and heavy for their size.
