It’s coming to an end with my vegetable garden. I harvested the last of my peppers and found some beauties at the farmer’s market. Stuffed peppers are a wonderful fall treat for dinner. I could eat a half of one, hubs liked a whole pepper and a fresh garden salad of kale and Swiss chard.
I like my peppers meaty and cheesy with not so much tomato sauce. These really are the best stuffed peppers that I have ever made. I couldn’t wait to stuff the peppers and was eating the filling, oops forgot to eat lunch! How does that ever happen? So, please taste the filling and see what it needs, salt and pepper, seasonings, before you fill your peppers.
This stuffing is magical! So delicious!
