Unstuffed Peppers
“If you like stuffed peppers, you’ll love this speedy version. It offers all the comforting flavour of the original, but takes just half an hour. Instead of cooking the instant rice, you can use 2 cups leftover cooked rice if you have it on hand.” —Beth Dewyer, Du Bois, Pennsylvania
