stuffed-bell-peppers-6

Welcome to this week’s Publix Super Meals. Each week I am going to share a recipe to help you take the Publix Super Deals and turn them into Publix Super Meals!

When I saw the sale on bell peppers at Publix I knew exactly what was going on my menu this week. Stuffed Bell Peppers are one of the easiest, most economic and delicious meals that you can throw together. I’ll be honest, when I make them I usually don’t even measure. I just toss the ingredients together and the peppers come out perfect every time.

I always try to make extras so that I can have it for lunch the next day. Now, my boys are not overly fond of the bell pepper but they will eat the filling all day long.

Give these a try and let me know what you think!
