These stuffed peppers are like little meatloaves in a pepper. My favorites are the red ones and not just because they are red. They are so much more subtle than green peppers. Once they are cooked, they are sweet, juicy and delicious.
The beef filling has 1/3 cup of Hidden Valley Ranch buttermilk salad dressing and 1/3 cup of bread crumbs per pound of meat. It’s an easy ratio to remember. The dressing makes the meat so tender. The meat almost melts in your mouth.
They go together in a few minutes and then bake for 2 hours, giving you time to get the rest of your meal together. I served these with the first strawberries and asparagus of the season. Spring cannot get here soon enough!
