I picked these with the intent to make stuffed peppers. After washing them, slicing off the tops and cleaning out the seeds, I cooked them in some boiling water for about 10 minutes. Then I stuffed them with a meat mixture similar to meatloaf. I didn't really measure the amounts, but I used oatmeal, a small can of tomato sauce, diced onion, onion powder and garlic powder.
This meal includes a meat, green vegetable and potatoes. It was good!
I really enjoy being able to go out and pick a bell pepper whenever I need one. They will bear until frost. Pepper is one of those vegetables that can be left on the plant for a while, so I just pick them as needed. As long as they are on the plant, they will be fresh.

My bell peppers are producing well right now too! Yum!
I like them too, but I think I'm the only one in my family who likes them. When I use them in a dish, I notice most of them get picked out and put on the sides of plates. :((
And some will turn red and add color to your table! My sweetie is not fond of peppers, so I often use them as a condiment to be taken or left.
By the way, appropriate sized peppers are great as a finger food if you stuff them with potato salad. Think about it. Mother often did this for picnics. Your hubby might remember.
Sounds delicious, Debbie! I just picked up my first peppers too and chopped some in potato salad yesterday. Yum!
I love green peppers but have never had much luck growing them... mebbe I need to try again next year!
Your dinner looks very yummy!
I'll be making the same thing soon, I got bell peppers on sale and then my dad sent a bunch more to us via our son.
Did you know bell peppers have the same vitamin C as oranges?
