Do Stuffed Peppers Store Well

You will find stuffed peppers are best when served warm. They will become a bit softer as they cool down in the fridge. You can reheat them in the microwave or the oven.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge. They will last 3-5 days in the fridge since they are meatless.
