STUFFED BELL PEPPERS

STUFFED BELL PEPPERS

DINNER AT HOME

We bought a bunch of Bell Peppers for Thanksgiving and never used them.  I had to come up with a dinner that used the Peppers and other items we had in the kitchen.  Stuffed Bell Peppers came to mind because when I was a kid my Grandma would make these and I loved them.  Not having a recipe made me have to wing it based on the ingredients we had and what I thought would make a great Stuffed Pepper plus how I made them last time.  I actually made this up as I went along and never looked at my last blog post and the results were amazing.  One of the best Stuffed Peppers we have ever eaten.  Loved this recipe!
