            Stuffed peppers were always a family favorite. My mother taught me this recipe and has been making it for as long as I can remember. We have always been a garden family, all the fresh veggies every summer. When she was a kid she was always looking for new and delicious ways to prepare food from the garden. Try, try, and try again. She came up with this delicious recipe and shared it with me, and now I am sharing it with you!
 

1. Start by cutting out the stem of the pepper, cut seeds from the stem, but make sure to keep the top of the pepper. You should be left with a hollow pepper and the stem which we will use later for a lid. Wash each pepper to ensure all seeds are out.

 

1. In a large pan brown beef with onions. Add in your seasonings, worcestershire, seasoning salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Once your mixture is browned add tomatoes.

 

1. While your beef mixture is cooking start your white rice and bacon. Cook chopped bacon in a separate pan. I have found crunchy bacon works the best. Boiled rice as instructed on the package.

 

1. Once ingredients are cooked as desired thoroughly mix your beef mixture, bacon, and rice together. Now add in your shredded cheese. As I always say the more cheese the better.

 

1. Next you will take your mixture and stuff it into your bell peppers. Here is where we use our stems. Once the peppers are full place stems on top and secure in place with toothpicks.

 

1. Now it is time to grill your peppers! I usually grill until the peppers become soft on the outside.

 

1. Enjoy!
