This is a new twist on an old classic. A family favorite of Shepherd’s Pie and Stuffed Bell Peppers. I present to you Shepherd’s Pie Stuffed Bell Peppers. I am so happy with how these turned out. Using rainbow-colored peppers brightens up this dish.

It is a great way to feed a large family without breaking the bank. Plus, everyone is happy, especially the kids. When you have small kids, you understand how hard it is to please them. The single serving size and colors make this an attractive meal for them.

My kids, I admit, are little foodies. Especially my son. He will try anything once. You won’t be disappointed in the taste, the peppers are the perfect vehicle for the Shepherd’s Pie. If you have a favorite Shepherd’s Pie, you can certainly fill those peppers to the rim with that mixture or try out the recipe below.

 If you’re wondering if you can freeze stuffed peppers to make them last longer, the answer is YES! You definitely can.

 Freeze all of your peppers one by one by wrapping them in plastic wrap and placing them in a plastic freezer bag before freezing. They should be good for three to six months frozen.
