These Instant Pot Stuffed Bell Peppers are delicious on their own but I like to add extra vegetables on the side. I served them with zucchini noodles and green peas for a complete meal full of vegetables. It\u2019s also great to serve them with a simple salad like this Healthy Caesar Salad<\/a>.<\/p>\n For a heartier meal, you can serve them with Mashed Potatoes<\/a> or this Broccoli with Ham and Beans<\/a>.<\/p>\n Top Stuffed Bell Peppers with the tomato sauce the peppers were cooked in and a dollop of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt.<\/p>\n Stuffed peppers are perfect for making in advance or meal prep.
