    • 6 red or green bell peppers tops removed and seeded
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • ½ pound bacon diced
    • 1 cup chopped onion

    Every country and every family has its own variation of stuffed peppers. This is my grandmother's Colombian version.

    This simple dish is hearty and delicious. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do.

    Vegetarians can simply omit the meat and add some chopped mushrooms.

    Buen provecho!

      Mmmm...this looks amazing...I love grandma recipes! I'll bet it would be great as stuffed tomatoes too, my husband would not eat the pepper so I could do his in a tomato!

      I adore stuffed peppers! Have you tried using poblano peppers instead of bell? Recently we've been stuffing those and the flavor is less sweet and almost smoky. Either way this looks sensational.

      I think that I would like to try this with the mushrooms instead of meat. They do look good...

          Place eggs in a pot. Cover them with cool water by 1 inch. Bring water to a boil over medium heat,cover and remove from heat.
          Place eggs under cool running water to stop the cooking. Eggs can be peeled and served immediately.
