The store had all the colourful bell peppers on sale today, so I bought a bunch of them. What is your favourite thing to make that highlights bell peppers?

    Three hings i like are stuffed peppers, and chop up peppers and onions and eat w/ sausage. Chop up peppers and other veggies and make an omelette. Oh and a veggie frittata.

    Great minds think alike--I bought stir-fry beef as well, and that was the one thing I already had planned! LOL I LOVE fajitas, but never had them with steak before, only with chicken.

    Honestly, my favourite way to eat bell peppers is raw with baba ganouj.

    What I usually do with peppers is that I bake them. I take out the inside of the peppers and stuff them with a little bit of rice with graunded pork and some herbs and tomato. Really delicious as a dinner dish.

    My favourite thing is to have them raw, as the basis for a salad. Chop them up and add some meat/egg/cheese/nuts/seeds, seasoning, mayo/salad dressing/etc. I often have that for lunch. They are also nice cut into strips to dip in hummus, etc.

    Some great ideas guys! Thanks! I really like the sound of the chicken salsa one especially; I am going to try that one in the very near future!

    I made these stuffed peppers and they were pretty delicious. I baked them instead of using the crockpot.
