But since my Bobby asked, I am making stuffed peppers. GROAN! Am I whining a little?</i><br /><i><br /></i><br /><i>I love the stuffing in it, and I love peppers, but the combo~ not so much! So let me put a clothespin on my nose and get over it! I make halpukies and so I 'll make the same stuffing and sauce that I make for them and stuff those big garden peppers. I have never actually made stuffed peppers so make this recipe at your own risk...and remember the clothespin... and whine a little while making them...

Put cleaned peppers  in a in a baking dish. Spoon stuffing mixture into all 6 peppers.<br /><br />Mix tomato soup, tomato sauce and Worcestershire sauce together in a bowl.
