4 green bell peppers, halved and seeded
1 (1 pound) loaf stale Italian bread, crumbled
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (2 ounce) can anchovy fillets, chopped
8 pitted green olives, chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

  • Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over low heat. Saute onion until translucent, then stir in garlic. Let garlic cook for 2 minutes, then stir into bread.

I made these stuffed peppers for a potluck and they were gone in minutes! Everyone loved them. I especially liked the crispy breadcrumb topping.

These stuffed peppers were a hit with my family! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly. The peppers were tender and flavorful, and the filling was cheesy and delicious. I will definitely be making this recipe again.
