STUFFED MUSHROOMS 2

2 cups stuffing mix

1 cup hot water
16 (approx. 1 lb) large mushrooms
3 tbsp butter
1/2 small green bell pepper, chopped fine
1/2 small red or yellow bell pepper, chopped fine
2 tbsp butter, melted

Preheat broiler.

Combine the stuffing mix and the hot water in a medium bowl; cover and let stand for 5 minutes.

Remove mushroom stems and chop.

Melt the 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet and cook the mushroom caps until lightly browned.
Arrange in a shallow baking dish, cap side down.

Add the stems and the peppers to the skillet; cook, stirring until tender.  Stir the mixture into the stuffing mixture.  Spoon the stuffing into the mushroom caps and drizzle with the melted butter.

Broil, 5 to 7 inches from the heat, around 5 minutes until heated through.
