434,000 “Stuffed peppers”
11,600 “stuff peppers”—not all eggcorn usages.
Analysis by Joe Krozel
Stuffed peppers (mushrooms, etc.) is a recipe of hollowed out peppers stuffed with ground beef, onions, garlic, breadcrumbs, and other stuff. (Redundant for emphasis). I’ve heard this eggcorn all my life as my mother had an exceptional recipe for stuffed mushrooms which people would mistakenly refer to as “stuff mushrooms.”
Note on tailoring Google searches: To locate the eggcorn usage of “stuff,” I had to remove its usage as a verb and locate only its usage as an adjective—albeit an incorrect usage. To do this, I contrived a few Google searches which would force the latter usage. E.g.,: “stuff peppers recipe” , “of stuff peppers” , and the like. (Quotation marks required for each search).
Examples:
