Peppers, as everyone already knows, are great with onions on steak sandwiches, but their value extends beyond the Philadelphian palate. Stuffed peppers make a delicious dish. It is fairly simple to take the center out of a large bell pepper and you can proceed to stuff it with anything you think sounds good, such as onions, corn, ground beef and tomatoes, bacon, curry powder, or bread crumbs.
Once stuffed, simply let sit in the oven and bake until all of the deliciousness inside your peppers amalgamates into a food lover's heaven. Peppers are also great on top of your burger or grilled chicken sandwich, if not in a vegetable stir fry, cooked in olive oil, garlic, and chilly powder.
Then there is the famous Italian dish, sausage and peppers. It often uses bell peppers, which go deliciously with either sweet or spicy sausages. To make this all once has to do is cut up the peppers and throw them in a boiling pot with a few sweet and a few spicy sausages with some roasted red pepper tomato sauce and stir. Plus, you can always just get your peppers in by cutting them into slices for dipping into a variety of hummus dips.
Health benefits of colored peppers are numerous. They protect against a variety of cancers, such as cancer of the prostate, bladder, cervix, and pancreas. This is due to their high lycopene content.
