I bought a bag of four very large red and yellow peppers for $3.99. Since these peppers usually sell for $1.50 each or more, I felt pretty good about my purchase. I made some tomato sauce and mixed in one pound of browned ground beef and diced onion plus two cups of cooked brown rice. I cut the pepper in half and filled eight pepper halves with my ground beef mixture. They cooked for 45 minutes in a 350F oven.
The stuffed peppers were very filling plus I made a side salad. One pepper half was plenty for dinner. So we ate them again on Thursday. And we ate them for lunch on Friday! Finally we are down to one pepper half left. I think I will let John have it for lunch on Saturday. I like stuffed peppers but I need to think twice before making so many large ones!
