Instant Pot Paprika Stuffed Peppers

These instant pot paprika stuffed peppers are stuffed peppers with ground beef or ground pork, rice, paprika and other seasonings. They are served with the stuffed pepper and filling being the center and a rich and delicious broth served along side them.

These are quick and easy to make and there is no need to cook the filling before hand, instead you can add the uncooked meat, uncooked rice and seasonings mixture into a raw pepper and then fill up the instant pot with a broth and then cook. The rice will soak up a lot of the liquid but also leave a broth to serve with the stuffed pepper.

The paprika in these peppers can be traditional paprika, sweet or smoked. The smoked paprika gives these an almost Spanish feel while sweet paprika gives a Balkan feel to these. Whatever type of paprika you use it will taste delicious.
