Stuffed Yellow Peppers
“We have a package of ground beef, what should we do with it?” is a question that often comes up in our house. Usually followed by our old standby of pasta and meat sauce, there are only so many things we know how to do with ground beef. Sure, we make hamburgers, meatballs, and even meatloaf, but the meat sauce has definitely been our favorite (if you’re measuring by how often it’s made).
But after last night, I’d say we have a new favorite, or at least, I do. Mom was feeling a bit more creative in the kitchen and decided to make some stuffed peppers. It had literally been years since I even thought about the concept of a stuffed pepper, let alone eaten one. And despite memories of somewhat negative associations, I was excited to give stuffed peppers another shot.
And let’s just say, it was love at first smell. As soon as I walked into the kitchen, I was greeted with the wonderful aroma of stuffed yellow bell peppers steaming and soaking in a bath of chunky tomato sauce. I was almost jumping for joy to eat dinner - who knew I could get so excited from a pepper?
