My very favorite element of our Avengers Party last weekend was the Pepper Potts’ Stuffed Bell Peppers. My hubby gets full credit for this one. I was trying to come up with dishes for various characters like my Black Widow Spider Bites and he came up with Pepper Potts. Literally, pepper pots. So fun!

I kind of developed this recipe the day of with the help of my mother-in-law and it turned out just amazing! The boys were a little intimidated by the whole bell peppers so I just spooned out the stuffing and they ate it just like that – yum!
