Smoked Gouda Stuffed Peppers



This recipe was inspired by the stuffed peppers that Ben's mom made (thanks Kathy!). Cheesy potatoes, but in a pepper to keep it healthy.

Ingredients:
4 medium Red skin potatoes chopped into bite size pieces
1 Broccoli Crown chopped into tiny pieces
I zucchini, diced
1/2 medium white onion, diced
3 gloves garlic, chopped
Pinch of salt
Pinch of pepper
Pinch of garlic powder
Pinch of red pepper flakes
4 bell peppers (any color)
1 cup shredded smoked gouda cheese (MUST be smoked, it makes all the difference)

Start by cutting around the top of the pepper and removing the stem, seeds and rind. Place the peppers on a baking sheet and pop them in the oven at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes.  Remove from the oven and let them cool. Combine the potatoes, broccoli, zucchini, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, garlic powder and crushed red peppers in a baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes at 350. Remove the tin foil and bake for another 10 minutes.



Next, fill your peppers! I put a spoonful of the veggies, then a sprinkle of cheese, then a spoonful of veggies and a sprinkle of cheese...until the peppers are full.  Put the stuffed peppers back in the oven for another 10 minutes to melt the cheese.
