VEGETARIAN MEXICAN INSPIRED STUFFED PEPPERS

I created this so it's not too spicy, but is packed with flavor. My kids loved it! For variety, add corn or other vegetables or switch to other chopped tomato varieties (chiles, jalapenos, etc.). Follow the boiling method prior to baking if you don't want a crispy bell pepper. If you have small peppers, use more of them for this recipe. They taste great with a dollop of sour cream on top.

PRONTO VEGETARIAN PEPPERS

In the summer I love to serve these peppers with salad and a roll. At the end of summer, I freeze them for cold months when produce costs are high. For a hot meal on a cold day, I love to serve them with a side of warm pasta tossed in olive oil. -Renee Hollobaugh, Altoona, Pennsylvania

Tips:

  • Use a variety of bell peppers. Different colors of bell peppers have different flavors, so using a mix will add depth and complexity to your dish.
  • Roast the peppers before stuffing them. Roasting the peppers will help to caramelize the sugars in the peppers and give them a smoky flavor.
  • Use a flavorful filling. The filling is what will really make your stuffed peppers special, so don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. Some popular fillings include rice, beans, vegetables, and cheese.
  • Bake the stuffed peppers until they are tender. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of your peppers and the filling you are using, but generally, they will need to bake for about 30 minutes.
  • Serve the stuffed peppers immediately. Stuffed peppers are best served hot out of the oven, so make sure to have all of your sides ready before you start cooking.
