I love taking advantage of a bargain & using left overs, broccoli was on sale, I had mini sweet peppers left over, so decided to create something to combine them all together. This is what I came up with and it was ahh so good. The blending of the veggies and unique flavor combination from the garlic, onion powder, lemon pepper, & italian seasoning made this a very tasty & colorful side dish item for the dinner table. It was the first thing that I ate all of before tasting the other food items, even the Prime Rib. I shared 2 plates with my neighbor & her husband.

How To Make broccoli rainbow mini swt peppers, tom & onions

I forgot to mention that the tomatoes I added to this dish was left over from the cored tomatoes in my STUFFED TOMATO CUPS, I will be posting the recipe for it real soon. I hate wasting food, so it really came in handy for this broccoli dish.
