Stuffed Bell Peppers (Easy and Kid Friendly)
"This recipe came from my friend's mom. It is great. We've made it numerous times. People of all ages love it. Serve it without the bell peppers if your family is against them and instead put on cheddar cheese and melt. It is delicious and hearty. Our friend's daughter calls it meat rice with tomatoes. Easy weeknight meal. The difference is the worcheshire sauce and cheddar cheese. Enjoy! ChefDLH"

I am a busy mom both with stuff at home and my work. My kids and husband love to try new creations so they are right at home with my love of recipes. It is fun to make something and try several different ways at it. I love to try different enchilada recipes, recipes for various ice teas, and anything that gets food on the table on the weeknights. Restaurant recipes for the weekends are another favorite.
