Tiffany’s All Time Favorite Stuffed Bell Peppers

When I was a kid and up until about five  years ago I wouldn’t touch bell peppers or anything with bell peppers in it.  Stuffed Bell Peppers, NOT A CHANCE!  In fact, I have a very clear memory of being at Carole’s when I was probably around 12 and she made her famous Stuffed Bell Peppers for dinner.  She served me a special plate with only the stuffing, knowing not to include any pepper on my plate.  She’s always been a wonderful Auntie!

Over the years I’ve grown to love bell peppers.  It must be true that your taste buds change every few years.

I have adapted Carole’s recipe to create Tiffany’s Stuffed Bell Peppers, one of my favorite dinners, not to mention that they are amazing as leftovers too!

So here you go, the recipe for Tiffany’s Stuffed Bell Peppers:
