All is quiet on the moving front. The trucks have been unloaded, furniture placed in the appropriate rooms, and I can’t find a SINGLE thing I need WHEN I need it.
Except for little toys. My feet have found every pointy, sharp, tear-inducing little toy and every loud, obnoxious, motion sensitive toy — thanks, of course, to Kidlets who have helped us unpack by emptying every. single. toy. bin. and. box.
I love my children.
Two days in and I am STILL trying to organize my kitchen. I have gone from a 9 foot galley kitchen with 8 cabinets to a much larger one with forty-billion cabinets and drawers. And yards and yards and yards of counter space. It’s awesome — except for when you need to unpack and set everything up. Then, the number of cabinets is more than slightly overwhelming and has caused me to completely rearrange cabinets more than once twice three times.
But, at some point, life will settle, I’ll have the dilemma of where to put my coffee cups and measuring spoons settled, and I’ll be back in the kitchen, enjoying the task of cooking for my family and trying to choose our “first home-cooked meal” in the new house.
These 30-Minute Stuffed Bell Peppers are a contender for sure. When I made these last month, trying to develop a recipe around the final featured ingredient for the Meal Maker Challenge, I was shocked to see how quickly the Kidlets tore into the final product, slurping and chewing with gusto.
Bell Peppers! Heavenly days, THEY BOTH ATE BELL PEPPERS! Yeah, this recipe — which pairs fresh and colorful bell peppers with lean ground meat, tomatoes and whole-grain Beefaroni — is a definite winner.
Quick. Simple. Kidlet-pleasing.
Awesome.

Looks really good and healthy. I wish my food pictures would turn out like that!
Those look so good. If I could get my husband to eat peppers I’d make these for sure.
I do believe that those are the prettiest stuffed peppers I’ve ever seen! Must try them!
I’ve never had stuffed bell peppers but those look delish! I definitely need to try it.
Those look amazing!
I love stuffed peppers.
You had me at 30 minutes. We have bell peppers in the garden but they are coming in so tiny!
Those look amazing! I love how you used two different colors of bell peppers.
Those bell peppers look fantastic!! I need to try to make those one day
I don’t like peppers themselves, but I would eat the filling out of them, lol.
This looks delicious! I’m going to have to make a paleo version for me.
These look incredible!
love it! I was shocked with my recipe this time around, too!
Glad y’all are getting all settled in!
sounds like such a tasty treat!
This looks so good!
Wow, I never would have thought of using beefaroni, but these look delicious!
I love easy and quick recipes. Stuffed peppers are delicious.
Wow, these look incredible! I love stuffed peppers, but I never topped them with cheese. Thank you for another great recipe! (voted)
I LOVE bell peppers, raw or cooked, and so do my kids (I’m lucky!) but this seems like an amazing and easy dinner option!
These look great. Stuffed peppers remind me of my grandmother because I remember seeing her make them when I was young once and asking her what they were.
These look delicious, and super easy to make! I never know what to do with bell peppers, and always thought stuffed peppers were too hard and time consuming. I’m going to have to try these!
yummy and beautiful
This looks so good! I love red bell peppers.
These look yummy! Love the photos!
These look so delicious!
Those look mouthwatering. I love stuffed mushrooms and being a fan of bell peppers I bet I would lreally like these too.
Mmmm, those look delicious!
First, thank you for showing me a quick way to do stuffed bell peppers my family loves me to make them but they take so long to do. I had never thought to use Beefaroni. that was the best part.
I had the opposite problem when I moved we went to a smaller kitchen with a 1/4 of the cabinets and counter space so still have things in boxes 4 yrs later
These look yummy. I’ve never bothered actually stuffing the peppers, though. When I make the BC variety, I just dice them up and toss them in with everything else. This is mostly due to thinking my kids wouldn’t touch the whole pepper, but maybe I’ll have to give them a chance sometime and see what happens. : )
YUMMY! I love making stuffed bell peppers but I don’t cook them often. I will have to try your recipe next.
I love stuffed peppers, never have made them this way, will have to try this recipe!
I love stuffed peppers. I love your idea of melting cheese on top too.
Looks delicious!
You had me at Beefaroni!!
