Mini Stuffed Peppers Two Ways

I love food in miniature and I love dips, so it's safe to say I could exist on appetizers.

I made these for Carol & Dad's annual holiday party and it was my first time making the taco ones but the mozzarella pesto beauties are a standard quick little bite in our house.

Ingredients
1/2 lb or 1 lb ground turkey
taco sauce to put in with that
green onions
finely shredded cheese
mozzarella cheese, cut in strips
pesto
bag of mini peppers

Directions
Brown ground turkey, drain, and add taco sauce . Use the leftovers to have tacos one night that week - you need a very little amount of this. Allow to cool.

Cut tops off of peppers and cut them in half. Scoop out any seeds and cut away some of the pepper to make them a little wider if you need to. Lay them in a 13x9.

I filled half and half with the taco mix and topped with some finely shredded cheese and green onions and half with the mozzarella cheese topped with the pesto. You could certainly do all of one or the other. Preheat oven to 400 and bake for seven minutes. Serve immediately.

  6. I made a version of taco stuffed peppers a couple of weeks ago and I think that I shall make them again. And I might make this version for a NYE party we're going to.
