Stuffed Sweet Peppers

       I am always looking for new ways to incorporate vegetables into my diets, especially ones that I don’t necessarily prefer (like peppers for example). I came up with this idea because salsa is actually healthy, with most brands being about 10 calories for 2 tablespoons, and no fat! I made this easy appetizer for the super bowl yesterday and my family LOVED IT!!

 

Stuffed Sweet Peppers


Ingredients:

1 Block Cream Cheese

1 Jar of salsa (any brand you like)

Bag of Sweet Peppers

Directions:

Let the cream cheese soften on the counter for about 30 minutes so it is easy to mix.

Drain most of the “water” from the salsa and in a bowl mix the salsa and the softened cream cheese, put it in the refrigerator to get firm again.

Wash and cut the sweet peppers in half the long way (take out any seeds there may be)

When the cheese has firmed a little add it to each pepper half about a teaspoon of the cheese mixture

Bake in the oven, on a cooling rack over a cookie sheet, for about 20 minutes to roast the peppers slightly.


  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
