Grit Stuffed Roasted Red Peppers

Grit Stuffed Roasted Red Peppers are a great brunch or dinner idea. So simple to prepare and go great with eggs for brunch or a salad for dinner. Vegetarian and Gluten Free.

Hello Guys! Hope this day has brought you lots of sunshine and happiness thus far. Today I wanted to talk about Grit Stuffed Roasted Red Peppers.

I usually keep a variety of bell peppers around since they are one of my favorite veggies. And since I was looking for a new way to make them that I haven’t tried this is what I came up with.

While they were great for dinner, I did eat them the next day for brunch and they were equally as good leftover. So make a few extra for your brunch.

Bell peppers roasted in the oven with that nice charred flavor are good on their own but throw a little grits in the mix and it takes them to the next level.

It was kind of a new twist on grits or at least for me it was. You can make your grits anyway you like them but for these peppers I cooked my grits with vegetable broth instead of water. Hence, taking them to the next level of specialness 🙂

And after all everyone needs a little bit of special in their life whenever possible. Don’t you think so?

So I hope I’ve solved your dinner problems for tonight or even breakfast for tomorrow. You could make up a few extra peppers since they really are good leftover.

But that’s coming from the leftover queen. We tend to really dig into leftovers around our house.

Making this one of my favorite go to’s and here are among some of the other reasons:

• Perfect for a special brunch since goes great with eggs
• Simple to prepare and tasty
• Excellent source of Vitamin C and other nutrients
• Vegetarian and Gluten Free
