For some reason, I am obsessed with bell peppers lately. I am using them for everything and making a lot of recipes that include bell peppers. As a kid, I never liked bell peppers. In fact, I think the first time I finally started to eat bell peppers was at a family cookout when I was a teenager and the only reason I liked them was becasue I was dipping them in a huge dish of ranch dressing. Well, I do not hide them in ranch dressing any longer.

I actually prefer yellow peppers and red peppers over green peppers. And you might be wondering what the difference is. Red, yellow and orange peppers are actually ripe bell peppers. Green peppers are picked before they are ripe which gives them a more bitter taste. So if you have someone in your family who doesn’t like green bell peppers, try serving them yellow, red or orange bell peppers. So might be surprised at the reaction.

Deconstructed stuffed bell pepper casserole is one of the easiest and quickest weeknight dinners. This version of stuffed peppers really does tastes like you labored to make traditional stuffed peppers.
