I have only good memories of eating stuffed peppers as a child.

The softened peppers held a mixture of ground beef and rice, delighting me every time.

Yet, it wasnt until adulthood that I truly discovered the versatility of stuffed peppers.

Or you could make them ahead of time by stuffing the peppers the night before.

Dad knew what he was doing when he cooked up these beefy bell peppers and topped them with a ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and Tabasco topping. Look for large peppers with a wide base so they stand up on their own and can hold the most filling.

Stuffed peppers reheat well and are a delightfully quick and cozy lunch.

I have no doubt that youll find one that youll make for years to come.
