Costco sells a bag of 2 red/2 yellow/2 orange bell peppers for $7. To me that’s a total steal. I snapped up a few bags and have been adding colored peppers to everything. Last night I did stuffed peppers. SO . GOOD!! Frankly also so easy.

Stuffed Red Peppers

6 bell peppers (I prefer red)
1/2 lb italian sausage or hamburger or ground turkey
1 medium onion (diced)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
Assorted veggies (I’m leaning towards corn and carrot bits and tomato bits or brown rice if you need filler)
1 tsp red pepper flakes
2 cups shredded mozerella cheese

Blister peppers to remove outer skin. I put them on the gas grill for ~5 mins and turn them until they get blistered on all sides then I put them into a ziplock baggie to sweat.

Preheat oven to 450F.

On Stovetop on medium high heat brown the onions and the garlic. Add meat. Cook until meat is cooked all the way through. Break meat up into little tiny bits. Remove from heat. Add veggies, red pepper flakes and most of the cheese. Set aside (taste the filling, add onion salt, salt, pepper, oregeno, basil etc to taste).

Remove the skins and then cut the tops off. Remove seeds. Try to keep the peppers mostly whole. Fill peppers with meat mixture. Place in ovenproof pan. Sprinkle top with remaining cheese. Bake 15 minutes at 450F. Broil for 5 minutes (watch it, 5 mins may be too long, cook until cheese browns). Serve.
