Magnificent! Those are gonna be a taste of heaven come winter.

We have been anxious to make up a batch too but so far all our bell peppers are staying small. Broke down and stuffed a bunch of banana peppers for now.

Thanks for sharing the pics. :)

Oh my - we just dined on that oval baking dish with the handles to the left. I can't begin to tell you how good they tasted. I just love stuffed peppers.

I have vivid memories of my mother making them - she would clean out the peppers and while they were still damp inside she'd sprinkle them with salt - she always said that was an important step.

So I always sprinkle the insides of my peppers with salt. :)

I know for sure she didn't use sausage in them but we love the combo of ground beef and sausage with a lot of garlic and the rice for the stuffing.

These are satisfying garden days. :) Hope you get some of the big guys soon, Dave. Our peppers are really lovely this year. And this is such a good way to use up all the tomato odds and ends, small ones, bad spot here and there. Deliciosa!

The first bell peppers of the gardening season are used for stuffed peppers here. I don't pick ANY of them until I have a batch stuffing size. It's a rite of passage, a summer ritual.

I stuff mine with rice as well, usually with tomato sauce, diced onions and garlic, mince beef, and top with cheese, but last year I decided to change the routine a little and see how they'd taste stuffed with black beans and dirty rice. Uh huh.........that one was a winner.

The bean rice stuffing sounds great. I suggested yesterday I make up some of them stuffed with something different and my husband gave me the usual "look" like why oh why would you choose to change perfection. LOL.

I do think I'll do a side dish one night with something like this - I love black beans - red beans and rice is one of our favorites, too.
