Prize winning Stuffed Bell Peppers

[Bird]

Even without having tasted them, I can tell, just from the recipe, that I'd like'em.

Never thought to mix sausage with the hamburger. I'll have to try it next time I make them. I'll also mix in a few pine nuts.

I made 8 last time; they freeze up really well, so we have some in reserve when the Grandkids show up unexpectedly.

That is a great idea. I think I will do some green peppers, yellow and red just for more fun for the grandkids. Do you want red, yellow or green? Then I eat whatever they do not want. Burp! :thumbsup:

I started thinking about these on my way home from work so I stopped and the grocery store and picked up some red bell peppers and cheddar cheese. Everything else I have. On the menu for tonight, I will post pictures if any are not consumed before I can get a pic.

I will up the recipe a bit to 6 peppers since I freeze my diced tomatoes in quarts. :thumbsup:

Super! Does that ever look familiar! Funny, how a pepper that size fits perfectly in a quart freezer bag!

Those red peppers look good; I always use green, but think I will throw in a couple of reds to add some variety. I'm down to only two in the freezer now.

Mom would only use green peppers. It never dawned on me to use red peppers as well. She wasn’t a very good cook, bless her heart and I’ve followed in her footsteps with my abilities.

By the way 2Lane, thanks for the recipe!

Green bell peppers are usually less expensive but red ones have more nutrition and cost more.

Red bell peppers boost your immune system due to high vitamin A, C and antioxidant properties, including beta carotene, which helps maintain healthy skin and vision. In fact, these mighty red vegetables contain 1.5 times more vitamin C, 8 times more vitamin A and 11 times more beta carotene than green bell peppers. (Yellow bell peppers have more vitamin C than green ones, but less vitamin A and beta carotene.)

I found the amount of mix to make vs how big the peppers are takes a little getting used to. In fact I started with 4 and had too much mix. 2lane recommends spreading the excess in the pan which is good, but I ended up grabbing another pepper out of the refrigerator since I had not dumped the water I used to boil the other 4 in yet, I just dropped it in there for a few minutes and it softened up like the others. I still had a little that went into the bottom of the pan which I scooped up and gobbled down.
