VIDEO: Cooking With Nikki – Leftovers Remix (Stuffed Peppers)
If you liked my Stuffed Acorn Squash recipe, then you’ll love this!
Next time you find yourself with a interesting mix of leftovers, try combining it all and stuffing it into peppers! Quick, Easy and Delicious! In the video below I combined left over Chicken Pound (Nikki10 for 10% off your order), brown/wild rice from Thanksgiving along with some veggies and ground beef. I topped with some left over cheddar and breadcrumbs from thanksgiving Mac & Cheese and voila! Give this idea a try and let me know how it turns out!
Ingredients:
Bell Peppers (7 shown in video)
Seasoning: Pepper, Salt, Lemon & Herb, Parsley
Stuffing: Lean Ground Beef, Zucchini, Rice, Grilled Chicken, Red Onion, Mixed Veggies, Spinach, Cheese (cheddar)
