Serves: 4. Cooking Time: 20-25 minutes
Ingredients:
4 large orange bell peppers
1 packet of Mash Direct Mashed Potato
Crumbled bacon

- Heat oven to 180 degrees.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the top off each bell pepper horizontally. Set tops aside (do not discard!) and remove all seeds. Rinse the peppers and pat dry.

- Lightly grease a small sheet pan. Arrange the peppers and lids on the pan and cook in the oven for 20 – 25 minutes, or until the they are cooked, but still firm.
- Remove them from the oven and allow to cool while you make the filling.
