Please keep in mind that you can change around this recipe to suit your or your family's taste. Instead of using the red bell pepper, use any veggie of your choice. Maybe you want to add some meat? Try using some chopped turkey bacon. Just remember, if using the turkey bacon, it will change the nutritional content above...so read the package label.
