N'Awlins Stuffed Bell Peppers
"Momma's Peppers . . . Whenever my mother prepares this Stuffed Bell Pepper dish, everyone in the family finds an excuse to 'drop by' for a visit to my parents' home. Being a fourth generation native New Orleanian, my mother offers a plate of food to anyone who stops by for a visit . . . that's why this recipe makes twelve servings!"
