Southwest Stuffed Peppers
I absolutely love this time of year! I've been eating as much fresh, local produce as I can get my hands on, but it's been so crazy hot that I've been avoiding turning my oven on as much as possible. When I saw this recipe for Southwest Stuffed Peppers on the Taste of Home site that's done via the stove top and the microwave, I jumped on it!
I'm not a big fan of green peppers, but I'll eat orange, red and yellow ones all day, so that's what I used. The beef mixture comes together really quickly, and it froze great too. I plan on adding some black beans to the next batch. This was a great main dish meal, and would also make great appetizers if made in the mini/baby bell peppers that are available now.
I hope you're enjoying #FarmersMarketWeek as much as I am! I'm printing and pinning recipes like crazy. You can check out what the rest of the #FestiveFoodies are making today by following the links at the bottom of the post.
