Stuffed Peppers

Stuffed Peppers

Happy ALMOST Super Bowl Sunday!! Is your team in the big game? I can’t decide who I want to root for, the Patriots seems to win all the time, so maybe the Eagles. Have you asked Alexa who she is cheering for?? It’s pretty funny!

I’m popping in today to share a quick recipe for easy stuffed bell peppers. It’s been a crazy week so mama needed an easy dinner and this fit the bill! We had family in town over the weekend and had served both nachos and roast & carrots over rice, so I had some leftovers to work with. I actually use this same mixture to make zucchini boats as well so I guess it’s multi-purpose.

So, as much as I would like to say that my kids would eat this up in stuffed bell peppers, it just isn’t true. So to make theirs a little more kid friendly I would serve it over blue corn tortilla chips or even make a quesadilla using the mixture. They are still getting lots of good veggies! 

Enjoy!
