Do you eat mashed potatoes with your stuffed bell peppers?

It depends on the variant.

If a standard stuffed bell pepper, then I will often do maque choux as a side.
If a 'mexican' variant then I'm making a street corn salad as a side.
If a mediterranean variant, then some pita and hummus or a greek salad.
If an asian variant then a side slaw with edamame.

All depends on how I'm preparing the peppers. I find the filling to be on the heavier side so I prefer a lighter side that compliments it.

So, just stuffed with meat?

I’m guessing a bread crumb sort of dressing. I’ve made them that way and the way with rice as a binder. Sometimes a bit of both.

I typically do not serve two starches for normal, everyday meals. But, I'm sure that I'd eat it...

We never do sides of any kind with our stuffed bell peppers. You have everything you need right there in the pepper. Meat, Rice, Vegetables

We typically have baked beans as the side. It reminds me of having rice dressing and baked beans together as side dishes for BBQ. My sister thinks it's strange, but it works for me. I'd second a corn based side as mentioned above.

I must have corn. Dont know why, but I do. My son made the last ones and just cut to the chase…put the corn in the filling. It was good, but we had no side.

My mom added crumbled corn bread to her stuffing. It was excellent, but I dont do that. Maybe thats why I need the corn flavor.

Corn, corn bread or a simple side salad with oil/vinegar dressing.

Sort of a cornbread dressing with ground pork or beef.
