I have visited and lived in several countries and found that filled peppers are a common dish. This version is a combination of the flavors I have found over the years. I do recommend cooking these in an Instant Pot, since it is meant to be quick and feed a family.
PrintInstant Pot Filled Peppers
Instant Pot filled peppers are easy and quick to make. Some like to cook the meat ahead, but I like to put all the ingredients in one pepper.

You can pick a variety of bell peppers. Red taste sweeter and yellow is a in between sweet and bitter, but green one has a slightly bitter taste. All three colors will give you a different taste profile.
