Speaking of the Mancini sweet peppers: I always liked those, 'specially
on cheeseburgers. They aren't hot but that's easy enuf to fix with a
little hab powder or, better yet, you can saute' them along with the
burgers in a little hot chile oil. (Or a lot of hot chile oil if you
like the tear gas effect).
The interesting thing about them is that they freze very well. We buy
the big quart cans at Costco and break 'em up into ice cube tray
portions which is just about enuf for one burger. Pop a couple of those
in the nuker for 30 seconds and the toss 'em in on top of the burgers to
finish heating up. Yummy and leaves real interesting stains on your
T-Shirt too. :)
