Green & Gold Stuffed Pepper Soup (Crock Pot Recipe)

Do you like Stuffed Pepper Soup? Want to try a healthier option? Here is what I came up with today after needing to use up some Yellow Squash Zucchini & Green Peppers from our garden. Lovingly named by my son, “Green & Gold Stuffed Pepper Soup.” The name may or may not have something to do with the fact we are from Wisconsin. GO PACKERS!

Ingredients:

  • 1 Medium Sized Yellow Squash Zucchini
  • 1 Medium Onion
  • 8 Green Bell Peppers
  • Two Cans of diced Tomatoes (14.5 ounce) – I used organic, salt free)
  • 1 can of tomato paste (12 ounce)
  • Eight Cans of Water (Use tomato Paste Can) IF you want that “beef” taste you could add some beef stock
  • 2 tsp. Chili Powder (More if you like)
  • (Optional) 1 tsp. salt

Directions:

  • Wash Green Peppers, core and chop into pieces
  • Wash Zucchini, cut off both ends, then chop into pieces (I DO NOT PEEL. I use EVERYTHING except for the ends.)
  • Peel & dice onion
  • Add all chopped veggies above to crock pot
  • Add both cans of diced tomatoes, can of tomato paste, and eight cans of water to crock pot
  • Add 2 tsp. of Chili Powder to crock pot
  • Mix it up
  • Cook on high for 8 to 10 hours (depending on if you want crunchier veggies)

That is it, Simple as that. It ended up tasting delicious! My husband who DOES NOT LIKE soup even enjoyed it. If you would like your soup a little thicker, leave out a few cans of water. It tastes just as good if not better then regular stuffed green pepper soup with ground beef and rice, just a healthier version.

  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 whole egg
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • Place the flourets in the food processor and turn it on for about 1 minute or until all the florets look like bread crumbs. Mine took about 1 and a half minutes. (Should look like Panko Crumbs)

  • Place the cauliflower on the cheese cloth and squeeze the water out!  This is very important. You don’t want your cauliflower crust to be wet or it won’t be crispy like a pizza crust.

  • After squeezing, transfer into a working bowl and mix the salt, garlic powder, Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese together. Then drop the egg into the mixture.
  • MIX WELL!!
  • Use parchment paper. Form your pizza crust to a circular shape or square shape, which ever you prefer.

  • Put the crust in the oven for 10 minutes or until it has a bit of a golden brown appearance. Remove from oven and  start building your toppings! Put your pizza back into the oven for another 10 minutes or until the cheese melts. I like mine a little crispy, so I baked my pizza for 13 minutes.

TIPS:

You can fail at this recipe if you don’t squeeze your cauliflower!

IF you prefer, You can use 2 egg whites instead of one whole egg!

Easter Bunny Peep Racers

How ADORABLE are these! And now that we have Twinkies back… Perfect for Easter Treats. I am going to make these this weekend. I found this on Key Ingredients Website, and once I construct them, I will add my pictures to this blog post for you all to see how they turn out. So clever!

Ingredients:   

  • Large marshmallows, cut in half crosswise
  • Easter Bunny Peeps
  • Round mini pretzels
  • Cream-filled snack cakes (like Twinkies, or Little Debbie Cloud Cakes)
  • White frosting or decorator icing
  • M&M’s candies

Directions:

  • Cut a small rectangle out of the top of the round side of the snack cake – starting about a third of the way from the front end of “car”.
  • Use frosting to adhere the bunny peep, mini pretzel “steering wheel” and halved marshmallow “tires” in place.
  • Decorate the center of the “tires” with M&M’s, using a dab of frosting to adhere.
  • Allow time for frosting to set up.

Caramel Puff Corn Recipe

Preheat Oven to 250 Degrees Fahrenheit

Ingredients:

  • Two 8-10 oz. bags hull-less popcorn corn puffs
  • 3 Cups brown sugar
  • 3/4 Cup light corn syrup
  • 3 sticks real butter (no substitutions)
  • 3/4 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 large roasting pan
    (I use disposable aluminum roasters, they are large enough and easy to mix in)

Directions:

  • Bring brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter to boil over medium-low heat in large pot stirring regularly.
  • Boil for 1 minute.
  • Remove from heat and add baking soda and stir vigorously (it will become foamy and expand)
  • Pour caramel over puffs and stir to coat.
  • Bake in a 250 degrees Fahrenheit oven for 1 hour stirring every 15-20 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and cool completely.
  • Stir regularly to keep the cooling pieces from sticking together.
  • Store in an air tight container.

IMPORTANT: This will not stay crisp if made in humid weather or if left uncovered for long periods.
