The BMG Kitchen: Parmesan Stuffed Peppers

My kitchen can be like a middle school science lab, the experiments can go really well or really terrible...I’m mostly successful though.

This take on stuffed peppers is the product of one of my earlier experiments. I was cooking with a group of young people in DC and they got me hooked on the stuff after one of their competitions. The entire game was changed when I realized that the bright colored bell peppers were sweeter.  Now sweet stuffed peppers are one of my favorite quickie go-to’s! I dig this dish because you can pretty much throw whatever you want inside these sweet crisp cups.

Check out the recipe and video for these Parmesan Stuffed Peppers and let me know what goes into your stuffing!

Get stuffed!

Eat to live. Live to be.
