Looking for a light meal? Stuffed peppers are super easy to make and you can stuff them with anything from sausage or ground beef to other vegetables.

We made these easy Italian stuffed peppers inspired by a bunch of recipes we found from Southern Italy. The common theme was breadcrumbs. First, we tested them with regular breadcrumbs, and now you don't have to. Don't use anything other than panko. For a gluten free option you could try rice. We tossed the breadcrumbs with a mixture of anchovies (our favorite are these from Spain), olives, and lots of fresh herbs and they were just amazing.
