  1. It says to cook the cauliflower, ground chicken and sausage…brown it in a pan? Won’t it cook in the 12 minutes in the instant pot? I don’t want it to come out too dry!

    1. It’s all technically cooking in the IP because you’re sauteeing in the pot. You’re welcome to skip that step and report back how it turns out! We’d love to hear! Happy cooking!

  2. Adding the water to the instapot for the final cooking turned the peppers to mush. Also the amounts are way off as we had about 6 extra cups of stuffing.

  3. These turned out great! The measurements were spot on for us – perfectly filled 4 peppers with no leftovers. The peppers were a little mushy at the end but that’s to be expected. I might just cook for 2 fewer minutes next time, since the meat is precooked anyway. Will definitely make these again, maybe with venison.

  4. Made these last night. Let me just say DELICIOUS! My son even snuck one to his girlfriend since she had to work late. [BONUS POINTS]
    I did have quite a bit of “stuffing” left over, but intend to use it for taco salad, so not upset about that at all. I suppose that can have some to do with the size of peppers used. Mine were medium and the biggest I could find since it is early in the season.
    Having cooked peppers in the IP previously, I knew to shave a few minutes off the cook time. I cooked for 10 but think next time I will do 8 for a bit firmer pepper. All in all, these were a hit!
