I am entering my tofu stuffed peppers recipe. The recipe is below. If you enter, good luck! And let us know if you win!

This is one of our favorite meals to eat when green or red peppers are on sale. There are many healthy variations of stuffed peppers. I usually make them with tofu or soy veggie crumbles as a hearty vegetarian meal. They are also great with cooked cubed chicken. Steam the peppers in the microwave to soften and lesson cooking time in the oven.

Cut peppers in half and core. Place peppers in microwaveable glass pan. Add 1/2 cup water to bottom of pan and cover with paper towel or microwaveable plastic wrap. Microwave on high approximately 3-4 minutes until softened (length of time depends on size of peppers). Do not overcook or peppers will be too mushy to stuff.

In medium mixing bowl, combine the cubed tofu, cooked rice, 1 cup shredded cheese, diced tomatoes including juice in can, sour cream, black olives, taco seasoning, garlic and pepper.

Remove steamed peppers from microwave, drain and place in baking dish so they sit like 8 little bowls. Fill each pepper with tofu and rice mixture. If there is extra mixture (because the peppers are smaller), place it in the pan around the peppers. Bake at 350 degrees uncovered for 25 minutes. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of peppers and bake for additional 5 minutes. Makes 4 servings. Serve with roll and side salad or vegetable.
