The reaction to this recipe has been either very positive or negative. I happen to like it a lot. This is the way my mom made stuffed peppers when I was a kid.
Mexican Stuffed Peppers 4 green bell peppers with the stems cut out and cleaned with as little of the tops of the peppers cut away 4 eggs 4 to 8 slices American pimento cheese 28 ounce can whole or diced tomatoes Oil, bacon grease or lard for frying Pinch chili powder Prepare peppers cutting out as little of the pepper's tops as possible. Break up and place one to two slices of the cheese in each pepper. (The original recipe probably used some kind of Mexican cheese). Separate the egg whites and yolks. Beat the whites till stiff and the yolks until mixed. Fold the yolks into the whites. Heat oil in a frying pan (non-stick may be best) and fry spoonfuls of the eggs until set on both sides. Because I've had difficulty with this part, I've cooked the eggs in one or two batches covering the whole bottom of the frying pan and cut the egg in small pieces the size of a serving tablespoon. Place the tomatoes in a large pan (size large enough to fit the peppers in). If the tomatoes are whole, break up with a spoon. Season the tomatoes with the chili powder. Place the peppers in the tomatoes. Be sure that the peppers are standing up straight. Add the eggs to the tomatoes. Cover pan. Cook on medium until peppers start to bubble (you'll hear when you reach this temperature). Lower temperature and simmer at least half an hour or until peppers are tender. Serve in bowls being careful not to tip the peppers when serving. Yield: 4 servings. If you want to halve the recipe or double it, just keep in mind to have enough tomatoes in the recipe. Hope you try this and like it!
