I made my own version of stuffed peppers because the yellow/orange/red ones were $1 apiece this weekend ... so sauteed up onions and shredded carrots and then cooked three hot italian turkey sausage links and crumbled them up, cooked up the Knorr's Spanish rice and added that, and corn, and a can of hot chili beans in the mix. Made A LOT - figured it at 6 very healthy size servings and it was 7 points per serving - then I just cooked up the peppers in chunks and served alongside it instead of filling the peppers YUM and spicy. And super easy leftovers.

Of course this changes daily. With breakfast I have 1-2 peices of turkey bacon or an egg. But I keep my main meals small enough to have snacks in between because I am a snacker even when I am not hungry and need to have the allotment for it or I will go over.
I have made about 10 different versions of stuffed peppers, but stopped making any other versions when I tried this. It's a hit with my family, my friends and it's just phenomenal. I use sweet Italian turkey sausage.Vegetable Sausage Stuffed Peppers
