Did you ever want to try something different from the usual hamburger and rice stuffed pepper? Well, my grandma Lucia would make these and they are sensational using canned tuna.My daughter Casey will sometimes bring a few to work for the boss or co-workers and they always ask for more.

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 red bell peppers, cut in half and cleaned
1- 1/2 box seasoned croutons, i like ceasars salad croutons
1 bottle italian salad dressing (10-12 ounces)
2 Tbsp pignoli nuts( may use walnuts if preferred)

1/2 c chopped red peppers or pimentos

Steps:

  • 1. 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
  • 2. 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.
