Sweet Petite Tuna Melt Peppers
"What an amazing low-carb twist on tuna melts. I was astonished at the fact the sweet peppers make perfect little placeholders for the tuna, they cook nicely in the oven, as soon as the cheese melts, you are ready to serve these up. Very easy, convenient, and healthy for Southbeachers, low-carbers or anyone wanting a new twist to your tuna melt."

Love colored bell peppers and cute little thingies! Taste great. Made as posted except for reducing the salt and pepper amounts. Next time I would reduce the filling amount by a third and there will be a next time. Thanks sassy for posting.

I used Greek yogurt instead of mayo and added capers for a briny addition. You have a great recipe!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>Being raised in Atlanta and a southern family, you can only imagine, I <3 to cook and inventing recipes is a natural task, it requires little effort on my end. I have three children and a husband with exquisite taste so the supply and demand in my house keep me busy. I have been cooking for consistently for about eight years. Also, I can't leave out my grandmother that taught me at an early age to cook southern cuisine. I spent many hours as a young women helping her bread fried green tomatoes, okra, make biscuits, shred cheese, you name it, I helped. It caught her by surprise when I would volunteer to clean out the chicken parts or cut up onions, but I just love being in the kitchen.</p>
