Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips
  • For tender bell peppers, do not skip the precook.
  • Taste the filling mix before stuffing peppers and add additional salt and pepper to taste.
  • Leftovers will keep for 3-4 days in the refrigerator. To reheat, place them on a microwave-safe plate, cover lightly with a paper towel, and heat for 30 seconds at a time until hot.
