Have you ever made a recipe that you loved so much you immediately tried to think of when you could make it again? That was this recipe. My husband, Jason, was grilling a pork tenderloin for dinner and I was looking for the perfect side dish. Around our house we love peppers: green, red, yellow or orange, so this seemed like a great match. Plus it was easy to put together. As soon as we finished dinner I was trying to find out when I could make these again. We had a few left over and they reheated nicely. You could even add some shredded chicken in the mix to make it a one-dish meal.
