Stuffed Bell Peppers make a colorful side dish for a holiday feast or any lunch or dinner - these ones are made with Creamy Chicken Noodle soup mixed with breadcrumbs and parmesan for a delicious filling

It’s no secret that stuffed bell peppers are the perfect side dish for a roast during holidays like Thanksgiving or Christmas. However, they also make delicious weeknight dinner when served on their own, offering a balance of protein, vegetables, and starch. It’s just amazing comfort food!

While stuffed bell peppers are fabulous, making the stuffing is often a labor of love with seemingly endless sautéing. Now we’ve figured out how to make a mouthwatering stuffing in minutes using Progresso Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup as our secret ingredient!

I love cooking with Progresso soup, as it’s a high-quality and flavorful base for so many dishes. Progresso is available at Walmart, and it is quick and convenient to stock up on your favorite soups!

How to Make Stuffed Bell Peppers

You only need a few simple ingredients to make stuffed peppers:

  • Progresso Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup
  • Bell peppers: you can use red, orange, yellow or green bell peppers
  • Grated parmesan cheese
  • Breadcrumbs
  • Salt & pepper
  • Mozzarella cheese: or cheddar or jack as you like

In terms of equipment, a 9×13 inch rectangular baking pan works well for baking 6 large bell peppers or 8 smaller ones.

Tips for Making Stuffed Bell Peppers

  • Look for firm bell peppers with flat bottoms, so they’ll stand up during baking.
  • If you have a convection oven with forced air, turn it on for faster and more even cooking. Note that larger peppers will take more baking time than smaller ones.
  • Stuff the peppers with enough filling to create a slight mound on top for an attractive look.
  • For a lighter variation, look for part-skim mozzarella for the topping.
  • Make Ahead Tips: Stuffed peppers’ flavor improves with time, so you can make these a day or two ahead of time and reheat in the oven for about 20-30 minutes. Or you can stuff them and store in the fridge for several days covered in plastic wrap to stay fresh.
