Stuffed Bell Peppers

March 17, 2017 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

We’ve been eating a typical 1950s menu this week which has been a lot of fun. And a lot of cooking! One thing my mom recalls her mother cooking back in the 50s was stuffed bell peppers. I don’t have her exact recipe so I improvised. These are definitely going to be part of our regular meal plans in the future!

I served these with cooked cauliflower and a green salad.

These would also be delicious (and vegetarian) with black beans in place of the ground beef.

In case you missed my 1950s menu, here it is:

These are the tomatoes I use. I like the fact they come in a carton rather than a can.
