1. Preheat your sous vide water bath to 185°F (85°C).

2. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes.

3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

4. Add garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute.

5. Add ground beef or turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.

6. Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes.

7. Mix in the cooked quinoa or rice and shredded cheese. Remove from heat.

8. Stuff each bell pepper with the filling, pressing down gently to pack it in.

9. Place stuffed peppers in vacuum-sealable bags. Seal using a vacuum sealer or water displacement method.

10. Submerge bags in the water bath and cook for 2 hours 30 minutes.

11. Remove bags from the water bath and let the peppers cool slightly.

12. (Optional) Broil for 2–3 minutes to brown the tops.

13. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.

Do not overstuff the peppers—leave a little space at the top.

You can substitute rice with cauliflower rice for a low-carb version.

Use red or yellow peppers for a sweeter flavor.

Peppers reheat well in the microwave or sous vide at 140°F.
