Is it okay to refrigerate uncooked stuffed peppers for a couple of hours before cooking?
It is not recommended to refrigerate uncooked stuffed peppers for a couple of hours before cooking.
Storing uncooked stuffed peppers in the refrigerator can introduce or increase the growth of harmful bacteria, increasing the risk of foodborne illness. Raw meat, such as ground beef or turkey commonly used in stuffed pepper fillings, must be handled and stored properly to prevent bacterial contamination.
Cooked stuffed peppers can be refrigerated safely, but they should be cooled thoroughly before storing in the refrigerator. Follow proper food safety guidelines to ensure the stuffed peppers are consumed within a recommended time frame to minimize the risk of bacterial growth.
