I've always liked how stuffed peppers look. Everytime I've seen them at a resteraunt or come across them in a recipe they always look amazingly delicious. Obviously I had to try to make them. Tonight was the night.
Kraft Canada offers some great (read easy and quick) recipes for those who are looking for healthy meal options that don't take a long time to prepare or plan for. Here's a great recipe for stuffed peppers with a little twist a la Mili (ie spices) since Kraft's recipes are a little on the bland side!
Prep Time: 15-20 Minutes
Cooking Time 50-55 minutes

Ingredients:
2 pouches frozen simulated ground beef (much better for you and I avoid been when I can)
1 cup of corn

1 each large green pepper, red pepper and yellow pepper
pinch of salt and pepper
pinch of chili pepper
