I LOVE green bell peppers. You can do so much with them. Usually we slice some up in a salad. They make an AMAZING accompaniment, sauteed up with some onion, and served with sausages. They are always in my homemade pasta sauce and homemade salsa, and often eaten raw, sometimes with a little ranch dip.
This week, since we got quite a few in our distribution, I am making one of my favorite comfort foods. STUFFED GREEN PEPPERS . Meat, onion, rice and seasonings, make this a delicious all in one piece meal. The kids get a kick out of anything that is a self contained meal, so this goes over well with everyone in the family. Sometimes instead of the tomato sauce called for in the recipe, I use tomato soup instead. It gives a slightly different flavor. I like it either way, but I think this week I am going to opt for the tomato soup. I may also opt to sprinkle a little cheese on them toward the end, just because I LOVE cheese as well.
Sometimes for fun, I also make this recipe as UN-STUFFED peppers. Just sautee the peppers, onions, meat and spices up, and toss them in a casserole dish with the cooked rice, sprinkle with cheese (parmesan or cheddar are our favorites) and bake til bubbly.
Hope you enjoy your peppers this week, I know I will!
