It seems like evenings have become so rushed around here that I am constantly looking for quick, healthy meals. Mike introduced me to stuffed peppers years ago, and while we love them… they take a while to prepare. I was determined to shorten that time to make something just as delicious and made with fresh ingredients. When I had the chance to team up with Fresh From Florida to show off just how fresh and delicious our local produce really is, I knew this was the perfect time to see what I could come up with!

Fresh From Florida Farmers make it easy to enjoy fresh produce year round. The wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and even seafood make it easy to choose farm fresh favorites for every meal. It would be impossible for me to choose a favorite – but we absolutely love their peppers and berries and squashes! I always look for the Fresh From Florida label when I do my shopping at my local farmers market. It is one of the perks of living in Florida for sure! I mean – look at these peppers?!! How beautiful are they!?
On a particularly busy night, I stopped by the store to grab everything I needed for my Chicken Enchilada Stuffed Peppers. My goal was to get something hot and delicious – and healthy – on the table in under 30 minutes. The recipe DID make a lot – but it worked out perfectly that we were able to have some for lunch the next day or you could even freeze the mixture to use later!

This meal was definitely a crowd favorite – both at dinner that night and the leftovers the next day for lunch! I might even say they were even BETTER the next day because the sweetness of the peppers really came through! Since I almost always have bell peppers on hand, this is a meal we will enjoy often on our busy weeknights. The peppers stay nice and crisp while the inside is all gooey and cheesy! SO delish!
