  1. We were chomping on some cheese steak sandwiches last night (yes, they were
    from the freezer case <G> ), and I was lamenting the fact that there was no
    green pepper, just chopped onions. Crash was glad that there was no green
    pepper on his sandwich.

    So, I had this idea. Grind dehydrated peppers, and sprinkle the powder on
    things where you want the flavor, but not the slimy texture. I have some
    Penzey's dried peppers on hand. When I've had a chance to try this, I'll
    report back.

    Has anyone attempted this? How were the results?

    Remember Art Simon? He's sent me some of his Texas Gunpowder - ground
    dehydrated jalapenos. Great stuff. Can't imagine why the ground bells
    wouldn't be similar. FWIW.

    Uhh, I bought a POUND (yes, a pound) of dehydrated green bell pepper
    chunks from Penzeys about 5 years ago. I use them in omlets and such
    all the time - throw them in the beaten eggs and let it sit for 15
    minutes. It's also good in soups and stews - in fact, it holds up
    better than "real" green pepper.

    Please let us know if you (as an actual pepper eater) like them
    this way. But for myself, if I tried to make cheesesteaks without
    peppers, I think the family would riot...

    I have a dehydrator. I was awake about 3am a few years ago, and
    bought one off Home shopping Network. Dang, don't watch that stuff,
    you'll go broke <G>! I only wanted it to make jerkey - but after a
    couple dozen "jerkey runs", I realized that others in the house were
    plucking the done jerkey out of the thing faster than I could bag it.
    I give up.

    Penzeys are less expensive... even if you get your peppers for free.

    We have one that we haven't used yet. I'll watch for a good sale. I'd
    grow my own, but my three herniated disks protest loudly when I try to do

    How you talk ! Properly prepared bell pepper strips are not slimy !

    The local stores have thinly sliced green, red and yellow pepper strips
    in the frozen food section. My freezer usually holds three 16 oz bags
    because a) they are so massively useful and b) they can be blanched,
    saute'd, sweated or roasted in seconds. I also have Penzey's dried
    red 'n green peppers on the condiment shelf, but tend to use them in
    soups and stocks.

    OTOH, once I tried Penzey's Bay Leaf Powder I have seen the light ! No
    more fishing for the bay leaf in the beef stew or marinara for me :-)

    John<==beef medallions in portobello mushroom sauce over rice tonight !

    I really think you should be getting some kind of commission. I'm a big
    fan of Penzey's, as well. The "must have" list is getting longer and
    longer. <G>
