PRONTO VEGETARIAN PEPPERS

Pronto Vegetarian Peppers image

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
