Once frozen, they should maintain best quality for about two to three months, but can remain safe to eat beyond that period.

Stuffed bell peppers that have gone bad might change their color, texture, smell or taste. If the peppers look shriveled, discolored or show signs of mold, they should be discarded.

If you're unsure whether the peppers are still good or not, it's best to err on the side of caution and throw them away.

Tips for storing Stuffed Bell Peppers to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• To extend the shelf life of stuffed bell peppers, consider freezing them. Before freezing, wrap them tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or store in heavy-duty freezer bags.

• When you're ready to eat the frozen peppers, you can defrost them in the refrigerator overnight.
