If you’re looking for a hearty, wholesome, and flavorful dinner that’s as nutritious as it is satisfying, Classic Marinara Stuffed Peppers with Ground Bison is a perfect choice. This timeless dish gets a gourmet twist with the rich depth of our Classic Marinara Gourmet Pasta Sauce and the lean, slightly sweet flavor of ground bison. It’s a comforting meal that feels elevated but remains easy enough for a weeknight dinner.

Stuffed peppers have long been a staple in kitchens around the world, thanks to their versatility and comforting appeal. By swapping out traditional ground beef for ground bison, you not only get a unique and richer flavor, but also a leaner protein option that's high in iron and omega-3s. When paired with Le Sauce & Co.'s Classic Marinara, the result is a beautiful blend of savory, herby, and slightly tangy flavors that infuse the entire dish.

Le Sauce & Co.’s Classic Marinara is made from ripe tomatoes, garlic, onions, and a carefully balanced mix of herbs. It’s slow-simmered to bring out the natural sweetness and acidity of the tomatoes, giving the dish a robust, homemade taste—without the hours in the kitchen. Using it in stuffed peppers ensures your filling is moist, flavorful, and deeply aromatic.

To make the dish, start by preparing your peppers. Choose medium-sized bell peppers—red, yellow, or orange for a sweeter flavor—and slice off the tops, removing the seeds and membranes inside. Lightly roast them in the oven for about 10 minutes to soften slightly while you prepare the filling.

The filling begins with browning ground bison in a skillet with a little olive oil. Add diced onions and garlic, and sauté until fragrant and translucent. Stir in cooked rice (or quinoa for a twist), a generous helping of Le Sauce & Co.’s Classic Marinara, and a handful of fresh herbs like parsley or basil. Mix in a bit of shredded mozzarella or Parmesan if you like a melty, cheesy center.

Spoon the mixture into your pre-roasted peppers, packing them generously. Top each stuffed pepper with a spoonful of marinara and a sprinkle of cheese, then cover and bake until everything is heated through and the cheese is golden and bubbly—about 25–30 minutes.

The result? A perfectly balanced dish that combines the earthy sweetness of roasted peppers, the meaty richness of bison, and the bright, herby flavor of marinara. It’s comforting without being heavy and satisfying without being overly complicated.

Classic Marinara Stuffed Peppers with Ground Bison is perfect for meal prepping, too—it reheats beautifully and can be made in batches for a delicious lunch or dinner throughout the week. Pair it with a crisp green salad or roasted vegetables, and you have a full, nourishing meal.

Thanks to our Classic Marinara, this dish delivers big flavor with minimal effort. It’s proof that with the right ingredients, even classic comfort foods can feel new, exciting, and gourmet.
