Story

I use both green bell peppers and red bell peppers. The flavors are different enough (the green are somewhat bitter and the red are sweeter) that it seems like two different meals. I think kids tend to like the red bell peppers better, so it makes the perfect dish for a family. You can even switch up the cheese a bit for totally different dishes.
And what a delicious way to use up leftovers! It always works best when you mix leftovers with fresh ingredients. Otherwise, the dish can taste like the same ol' thing again, and again, and again. Try this recipe out on your family and don't tell them you're using leftovers - I'll bet they don't even notice! Enjoy!
