ChandlerMom Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) Picked up a bag of sweet mini peppers at Costco. Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with them. :D Especially, what to do to get my kids to eat them. I'm going to make fajitas tonight, but beyond that I'm kinda clueless, esp since I need to use them all fairly quickly. ETA: can I sauté them and then freeze them to add to stuff later? Maybe in strips or pureed and frozen to sneak into spaghetti sauce or soups? WWYD? TIA! Edited February 5, 2012 by ChandlerMom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCoffeeChick Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 We just wash them and eat them ... My dd absolutely loves those things and begs for them every time we're at the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I put sweet pepper in pretty much everything I put onion in. From chili to eggs. Yesterday I bought a bag of sweet peppers and used one in scrambled eggs. Peppers are easy to freeze if you prefer to go that route. Just dice them and freeze.

jennsmile Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Roasted red pepper dip, never made it but there are lots of recipes. We just eat them plain. Maybe stuff them with tuna or chicken salad for lunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThisIsTheDay Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 In addition to fajitas, we saute them and serve them in bratwurst on buns with lots of mustard. My kids might be more likely to eat them raw, dipped in homemade ranch-type dressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrappyhomeschooler Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Those little ones are so good just cut up and eaten raw. I like to dip them in hummus, too. I'd add them to salads, chili, and stir-frys, too. I think you could freeze and re-use the already fried ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 We put cream cheese in them! Esp the garlicky kind! Great appetizer! I have also made mini baked stuffed peppers with some pork sausage in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I find a good deal on them, I buy a ton and dice/slice and freeze them in qt freezer bags. I just scoop some out to add to whatever I'm cooking. Fresh they are great in salads and with dips.
