Stuffed Green , red or Yellow Peppers image

Stuffed peppers have always been a family favorite in our house. You can use any color of pepper that is to your preference (Like I did). Some people like to par-boil the peppers in boiling water for 5 minutes before stuffing them but I like a little crunch to my peppers , so I have not done that process in my recipe. To this...

  • 7. Place the peppers in the 375° oven and bake uncovered for 1-1/2 hrs.

  • 9. Note : Cut the extra pepper from the ends that you cut off of the tops and freeze for use in another dish...waste not ..want not!!
