Baked Vegetarian Three Cheese and Chilli Baby Stuffed Capsicums
Baby capsicum filled with three cheeses and chilli
Capsicum is generally filled with meat however as I rarely eat red meat, I have made it for vegetarians.
The mixture of the three cheeses, make this a very interesting and unusual way to make the capsicums.
If you like hot dishes, double the amount of chilli in this recipe.
