Did you know...

GOFoods is not only the top o' the line reserve food storage with a 

shelf-life of 20+ years, but these easy-to-prepare meals are 

delicious and can be used every day, disaster or not! And the cost 

per meal is generally less than $2 each when you buy in quantities. 

Cheap! For example, the price per serving is reasonable, generally 

under $2 if you buy in quantities. A pouch of Three-Cheese 

Alfredo Pasta, for example, costs $9.95 and serves 4 – but if you 

buy 13 pouches the price drops to $7.26 per pouch ($1.82 per 

serving).  A pouch of Potato-Cheddar soup costs $7.95 for 4 

servings, lower if you buy in quantity.  There are also 

combinations available that will bring the price down even further. 

As I often say, these days, I would rather put my money into 

precious metals, heirloom seeds and GOFoods than into the local 

bank for an offensive interest rate. You? 

Here are some recipes and instructions from the GOFoods website. 

Bon appetit, y'all!

Merry Christmas, too!

Whitney's Stuffed Bell Peppers

A classic American dish that one can’t easily find in restaurants is stuffed bell peppers. It’s essentially a rice and meat style recipe stuffed into bell peppers and then baked in the oven using our delicious Chicken Cheddar Rice. Here is GO Foods’ fun version:

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: About 50 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 package of prepared Chicken Cheddar Rice
• 4 bell peppers, any color
• 1 cup chopped tomatoes, fresh or canned – if using can, drain of excess liquid first. (optional)
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon of dried oregano (optional)
• ½ cup ketchup (optional)
• ½ tsp of Worcestershire Sauce (optional)
• Dash of Tabasco sauce (optional)
• 4-6 tsp of seasoned breadcrumbs (optional)

Directions:

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, cut top off peppers 1 inch from the stem end, and remove seeds. Add several generous pinches of sea salt to boiling water, then add peppers and boil, using a spoon to keep peppers completely submerged, until brilliant green (or red if red peppers) and their flesh slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
2. Arrange the cut side of the peppers up and place on to a baking dish, then stuff the peppers with Cheddar Chicken Rice. You may find it easier to put the tomatoes and the prepared Cheddar Chicken Rice at this point into a large bowl and mix together with a spoon.
3. Combine ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, and 1/4 cup of water in a small bowl, then spoon over filled peppers. Last step is to sprinkle about 1 tsp of breadcrumbs over the top of each stuffed pepper.  Add 1/4 cup of water to the baking dish. Place in oven and bake for 40-50 minutes (or longer, depending on how big the peppers are that you are stuffing) until the internal temperature of the stuffed peppers is around 150-160°F. Sea salt & fresh ground pepper to taste.
