Love stuffed peppers but hate the prep? This dish has you covered: it has all the flavour and comfort of a baked dish but without any of the mess. It’s done in way less time in the microwave and you only need to wash one dish—thank you, Epicure Steamers! This is a forkin’ good meal that doesn’t even need a knife to dig in.
