This is a favorite
of mine to use when I have leftovers. Actually, I plan so I have the right
ingredients, but don’t tell my secrets.
In late summer when
veggies are in top form, the sparkling green of fat bell peppers has my mouth
watering. Fry up a bit more summer sausage for breakfast than you need. Pull
out of the freezer that small bit of ground beef you cooked up with onion. Add
a bit of chopped green onion, a dash of garlic salt. Mix with tomato soup which
is undiluted. Use a ½ can if you only make up two; a whole can for four
peppers. Add 1½ cups of white or wild rice that you had left over and tucked
into the freezer. Voila! You are ready to assemble. All ingredients are already cooked, so you are
just baking the peppers, microwave or oven.
Now if you don’t
have leftovers then this is the recipe, that serves 4, to follow.
sausage, cooked, drained
cooked, drained
or white rice
powder
pepper to taste
green onion
cheese
optional
Preheat oven to 350°
F.
Cut the top off
peppers and discard stems, chop tops into small sizes and leave in bowl. Remove seeds from peppers and arrange in
baking dish.
Mix remaining ingredients
in bowl with chopped tops and then spoon into peppers. Cook for about 30
minutes. Sprinkle with the parmesan. May be
refrigerated and served next day. Warm in oven or microwave.
Late summer harvest
presents many choices for salads and dessert. A side dish of fruit and a slice
of cheese (so many excellent selections). Corn bread is also a great taste with the
peppers.
Enjoy!
