Stuffed Bell Peppers?are one of family’s favorite dishes.? My kids love it and my husband just adores me all the more when he sees it on the menu for the week.? I must admit, I can make a pretty mean bell pepper.? Most people have their favorite stuffed bell pepper recipe, and there are many versions and variations to try, but I do mine a little different using a secret ingredient and it is always a crowd pleaser.
Unlike most who add rice as their filling, I prefer stuffed bell peppers without rice, so I choose my favorite cornbread stuffing filling that is mixed with ground beef, shrimp, and crab meat that has a savory texture and flavor.? It is by far my favorite bell pepper recipe and? it Tastes As Good As It Looks!
Since these are such a crowd pleaser, I like to use a large Pyrex dish like this one so it can hold several peppers at one time.
