STUFFED BELL PEPPERS

 


Classic stuffed peppers with rice, ground beef, and a healthy rainbow of sweet red, yellow, and orange peppers make the perfect easy dinner idea any night of the week.

Since I was a star-studded teenager, I've been a fan of drawing rainbows. Now I eat them.

But as a child, my nose wrinkled at the sight of those crunchy green vegetables, and when they appeared on my dinner plate, I sketched how I dipped every bite into a napkin slipping cunningly for a dog waiting anxiously under the table.

As an adult, eat food you hated as a kid at once becomes not. which - which. Bad. And sometimes really good. And I can't stop! I keep making more versions of this meal that are served in its own bowl like Mexican stuffed peppers, creamy chicken and mushrooms, zucchini stuffed peppers, quinoa, turkey and even baked eggs with stuffed peppers.
