We grow lots of veggies and sweet bell peppers are one we usually get a lot of so I am always looking for ways to preserve the. A few years back I decided to stuff them and freeze them to see if they would still be just as good as fresh and they turned out great! The convenience of pulling them out of the freezer and sticking them in my crockpot is so time saving especially during the work week!
