I remember when I was young I was forced to eat stuffed pepper. I hated that. Worse yet, I was always made to eat them raw. Later in life I began to enjoy that. I remember the day, however, that my mom added a steak mixture and some cheese to some bell peppers she had pre-baked. My goodness, I thought I had died and gone to heaven. The taste and texture was simply out of this world.
I perfected her cheesesteak stuffed bell peppers and still eat them today. It’s a must on my menu at least once a month.
