What's for dinner tonight?

A couple of years ago, I stumbled on a recipe for Savory Stuffed Peppers in a Mrs. Dash ad. I made it once and my husband Loved it! I much prefer my bell peppers in the raw, but once in a while it's good for the relationship - and the heart - to let him have his way.

 

I didn't say that it had to be often, it haaass been at least 2 years since the last time I made this. Honestly, I forgot about it until I found it in my cookbook... but the fact that it made him look forward to dinner, well, that was nice!

 

First, top and hollow out your bell peppers, then place them in a deep baking dish.

 

 

Mix together your "stuffing" ingredients in a bowl - this made my hands sticky and dirty, so no photo, but I'm sure you can use your imagination.

 

Then stuff your peppers. 

 

Pour marinara sauce over the top and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. 

 

Cover the dish and bake for 45 mins.

 

 

Score! He was happy! Though I think the boys prefer their peppers raw, like their mommy. :)
