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

- 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.
