Packed with orzo, Italian sausage and summer flavors, these stuffed peppers make a fun, fast-fixing meal. Get colorful with green, orange, red or yellow peppers. Use more or less pepper flakes to adjust the level of heat to your liking! —Kelly Evans, Kalamazoo, Michigan

Shred and Freeze CheeseIt’s usually cheaper to buy cheese in blocks than in shredded form. So I purchase large quantities of cheddar, Monterey Jack and mozzarella, then shred them myself in my food processor. I store the shredded cheese in the freezer in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags, so I have it at my fingertips whenever it’s needed. —Evelyn O., Parma, Ohio

I don't like bell peppers much, but I used this recipe to stuff poblano peppers and it was really good.

Orzo-Stuffed PeppersI have been making orzo stuffed peppers for some time. I thought I had an original recipe, but I guess others are as creative as I am! I do use a combination of ground turkey and pork and some different spices and herbs, but whatever works for you will be just fine!

Made this for our eight weekly dinner group. First reaction was stuffed peppers without rice; but then the pasta and the hot Italian sausage, and the cheese combination with the all of the seasonings; and the other three couples wanted the recipie. PastorBKeep them coming!

I made this for my husband the other night and he said it was the best meal I've ever made! (He usually does the cooking). And it made way more than can fit into 4 peppers, so I cut up one of the peppers and made 3 extra lunches for us both! Absolutely delicious!!
