At the end of each month, The Cook and Kitchen Staff select some of the
best recipes sent to Recipe-a-Day and post them to the entire membership.
Today's offering is from Recipe-a-Day member "Wisecd." It will make a
fantastic addition to your casserole files.
You may elect to vary the flavor of this recipe by utilizing different
green peppers. Although the bell pepper is the most common pepper used in
many recipes, try a little roasted poblano or diced jalapeno pepper to heat
it up a little bit!
Thank you to all Recipe-a-Day members that took the time to send in a
recipe. We're just sorry we won't have an opportunity to publish them all!
