Stuffed peppers just got better! This finger-licking stuffed pepper dish is filled with delicious ground beef mixture and gravy that makes it taste just like Salisbury steak.
SALISBURY STEAK STUFFED PEPPERS
This delicious dinner treat comes to you from me and my husband, enjoy!
This dish may be named “Salisbury Steak Stuffed Peppers” here, on my site, but in my house, it’s named after my husband. Oh, I will never hear the end of gloating from my husband. It’s all he talked about for two days after I made the stuffed peppers, about how he came up with this dish and how it’s the best stuffed peppers he’s ever had. Yeap, he is totally hogging all the glory here.
Yes, yes, he did come up with the idea for stuffing peppers with Salisbury steak but I do feel like I should get the bulk of credit for actually making it. Although, if you ask him, it’s 80/20… 80% going to him, of course.
It all started when I saw some gorgeous bell peppers at the farmer’s market and told him that I wanted to make some stuffed peppers. Then, after bouncing around a few ideas for the flavors, he suggested Salisbury steak. It really was a great idea, and then an even better idea topping the peppers with Pepper Jack cheese as opposed to Provolone.
It was all followed by days of grinning, and talking about him being a genius, and what would I do without him. And, even though his “I had the best idea” gloating will never stop, these really were some incredibly delicious stuffed peppers!

Lyuba,
So here’s the thing… I Love Stuffed Peppers! My wife not so much… My son definitely didn’t.. note the past tense. But, since late harvest began and all of the bell peppers are harvested, I had to come up with something for them to like them better, in order me to have them.
So, a few weeks ago I had an apostrophe (Epiphany *see the movie Hook) and I thought if I did taco meat stuffed peppers…Since we love Mexican Food…they would eat them. So I made some… And it was a hit!
Now to my point… I love Salisbury Steak…so does my son, but my wife does not. But I thought what if I made a Salisbury Steak mixture and then put Pepper Jack Cheese inside the pepper… Like I do my Enchiladas. So then I Googled it because I didn’t know how to make Salisbury Steak from scratch, and it led me to your site.
Well I have to tell you… Absolutely amazing!!!! I guess great minds do think alike! So, tell your Husband he is definitely a genius! Of course, I guess that kind of makes me one too, because I thought about it before I found your recipe…LOL! Our son invited a friend over, and my wife went back for seconds!
What is so funny my son went to Halloween party last night… So he slept in this morning, and he got up around 11:00… I asked him if he wanted breakfast he said, “No Dad… I want a Stuffed Pepper!” Wow! That’s a real compliment… Stuffed Peppers and Mash Potatoes for Sunday Brunch! Of course, Cold Brew Coffee also!
So there’s tons of Smiles on this end! Thank you so much!
Sincerely,
Jeff Almond
P.S. I would send you pictures if I could but this comment box doesn’t give you the option… Would kind of be nice if it did!

I love stuffed peppers! But my hubby sounds a lot like yours – they think up something and when it works the head swells. Anyway, with peppers, we like them to still have some body to them. We don’t like them mushy. All of your pepper dishes look fantastic. They are very photogenic. Tell your husband he has a winner on his hands — you not the peppers 🙂
Lyuba says
Guys will be guys, ahah, but you’re too sweet, Marisa! Thank you!

This looks so delish! Are the peppers crunchy when they are cooked? My stuffed peppers recipe has them par boiled first then backed for an hour.
