Those are called Mexi-Bells. Many seed companies and nurseries sell the
stable-cross seeds as well as the plants. I don`t understand your chilies
being bland, though. They should have been at least as zippy as the bells.
My late friend, Les, grew Mexi-Bells in his raised bed garden (along with
Thai Bird`s Eye, serrano, jalapeno and NuMex Big Jim peppers. I`ve used
ripe Mexi Bells from his garden to make the recipe I`ve attached below.

I had one of those stove top poppers (cast iron sauce pan with a special
stirring lid that was hand cranked. When I got the table-top electric and
stand alone Stir Crazy the popper pot went to the Goodwill. Along with
the air popper.

I dunno what happened to my tube pan - I think I gave it to my sister as
I never make angel food cake so I saw no need to clutter my cabints. Bv)=
MMMMM---- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
Title: Mexican Stuffed Bell Peppers
Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Cheese, Rice
Yield: 6 servings
6 md Red (ripe) bell peppers
3 c Dry instant brown rice
1 lb Lean (90%) ground beef
1 1/4 oz Env taco seasoning
1 md Yellow onion; diced
1/2 c Mexican blend cheese;
- shredded
Slice off tops of bell peppers core them (remove seeds
and membranes). Bring a large pot of water to a boil
and boil the peppers for 5 minutes.
Prepare rice according to package instructions.
Meanwhile brown ground beef in a large skillet. After 5
minutes, stir in taco seasoning and onions. Continue
cooking for 5 minutes. Add cooked rice and mix well.
Stuff bell peppers with meat mixture and prop upright
in an 8" X 8" baking dish. Top with cheese. Broil for
1 to to 2 minutes or until cheese is melted.
UDD NOTES: Mexi Bells work very well in this recipe.
Green or ripe (red). Also, I dice the tops that are
removed from the peppers (less the stems) and mix the
result in with the onion as a part of the stuffing.
If you don`t have Mexi-Blend cheese pepper-jack works
very well.
