Baked Stuffed Spicy Bell Peppers
Oven-baked stuffed spicy bell peppers are one of my favorite dishes regardless of the season. During the summer I use fresh peppers, and during the winter I use frozen. I recommend this dish to anyone who is looking for a filling and delicious vegetarian or vegan dish.
