Mummy’s Fast & Easy

Who doesn’t love stuffed peppers?
I can tell you for sure that we love these in our family. I love trying different combinations and posting them up here.
Last week I made these sweet red peppers with orzo, bacon and melted mozzarella.
They were so easy to make and so yummy.
And thanks to the orzo, quite filling. You can have them for starters, side dish or main, they are delicious anyhow.

Here’s what you need.
