Stuffed Red Bell Peppers
4 steps
Prep:25minCook:35min
I have long wanted to cook this dish, but was put off by it for some reason.
I found this recipe in the magazine "Taste of Home Mediterranean Made Easy" TOH Pink Edition, pg 33
But I made a few substitutions due to dietary limitations/allergies, such as replacing the beef with turkey (no red meat), and the balsamic vinegar with apple cider vinegar (no sulfiting agents.)
I also used diced tomatoes, because I didn't have tomato sauce, and it still came out amazing.
I doubled the recipe (reflected below) for the four people for whom I was making dinner.
