FETA STUFFED PEPPERS
One of my favorite meals when I was younger was a recipe my mother made called Quick Chili Rice Casserole. I put a Greek spin on it and stuffed it in a pepper. It works great paired with a garden salad and fresh bread. -Sacha Morgan, Woodstock, Georgia

HERBED FETA STUFFED MINI BELL PEPPERS
I recently got two pounds of mini bell peppers at Costco, and after eating about half of them raw (yum! they're so sweet and tasty!) we got to the point where I needed to find something else to do with them. Here's what I came up with, and having just eaten one, I can assure you they're absolutely delicious! These can be either baked (which I usually do), or eaten uncooked.

Steps:
- Cut the tops off the mini bell peppers and take out the seeds and larger white veins; rinse out with water, then set aside.
- Put the crumbled feta cheese in a bowl and add the sherry; toss to coat.
- Mix together well the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl, then add the mixture to the feta cheese and toss to mix them all well.
- Spray a large casserole dish (I use a large oval white Corning Ware) with an olive oil mister or pan spray.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Stuff each mini bell pepper with the herbed feta mixture, making sure there's a good amount of feta in each pepper; place peppers in the casserole dish.
- When all peppers are stuffed, place cover on casserole dish and bake in oven for 30 to 45 minutes until peppers are nice and soft and the cheese is melted. If too much of the cheese melts out of the peppers, use a spoon to put it back in. :)
- Serve and enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. Wash the peppers, slice the cap off the peppers, and set aside to use later. Scoop out the seeds, carefully though not to break or tear the peppers.
- 2. In a bowl mix & mash the cheeses with a fork, add the onion, parsley, dill, olive oil, and pepper to your taste. If you like to have a slight kick add some red pepper flakes (I don't always add) Also I don't add salt due to the cheese, especially the feta cheese is a salty cheese. So before stuffing the peppers taste the filling and adjust to your liking.
- 3. With a small spoon or your fingers (I use my fingers)stuff the peppers with the cheese mixture. Carefully pressing down to completely fill the peppers, to 1/2 inch from the top. Press a small piece of bread into each pepper to keep the cheese from melting out while cooking. Place the caps back on each pepper.
- 4. Lightly brush a baking or pyrex dish with olive oil and add the peppers, placing them one next to the other. Drizzle the peppers with olive oil.
- 5. Bake in 350* F preheated oven, on highest rack for about 20 minutes. At 10 minutes turn peppers. When ready, remove from oven and serve! KALI OREXI! ENJOY
