These Chili Stuffed Peppers are a great weeknight meal, or fun game day party recipe. It’s a great way to use up leftover chili.

I love quick weeknight meals I can make from leftovers. These Chili Stuffed Peppers are a great way way to use up left over chili. I like to start with my Sweet and Spicy Chili for a crowd. It’s got great flavor, and a boost of extra veggies from sweet potato puree. You might also like our Vegan Chili recipe.

Mr. Juggling Act likes beans in his chili, but the rest of us don’t, so I usually omit them. You can use whatever favorite chili recipe you like for this. You could also add 1 can of black or kidney beans to the chili mixture if desired.
