veggie stuffed peppers
Love stuffed peppers so I wanted to revise them to be meatless. You'll never miss the meat in these. Feel free to substitute meatless crumbles of your choice. I like Boca Brand. Also, if the mini Bella peppers are not available in your area just use regular size bell peppers. I stay away from green peppers because the yellow, red and orange ones are so sweet.
