How to Make Italian Tuna Stuffed peppers
- Mix croutons in a bowl with about 1/2 cup warm water and soften. Add all ingredients except stuffing pepper halves and add salad dressing. Mix well, almost like a bread salad
- Grease a casserole with a little olive oil and line up the 12 pepper halves. Stuff each half individually with bread stuffing after squishing with your hands to help ingredients mix and somewhat stick together. pour just a little olive oil on top and cover and bake 30-40minutes at 375 degrees until tender. Serve hot or cold. may be reheated in the microwave oven.
