Notes: I found this recipe in my grandmom's pile of recipes/cookbooks/etc. It's from an old newspaper. I love it because it's stuffed peppers with no rice. The recipe doesn't tell you how long to bake the peppers but mine took about 50 minutes. I just cooked them until the peppers were tender & fully cooked. I've always used crab meat as my seafood. I serve this with some bread & salad. This recipe is easily halved. In my opinion 1 pepper is more than enough if there's salad & bread with it.
