Alright, listen up, y’all. We gonna learn how to cook them frozen bell pepper strips, okay? No need to get all fancy-pants about it. It ain’t rocket science, I tell ya. Just good, plain cookin’, the way I learned it from my mama and her mama before her.
First things first, you got them frozen bell pepper strips, right? Them things are handy, I gotta say. No need to chop and fuss, they already sliced up for ya. Saves a whole lotta time, specially when you got a hundred other things to do. Kids screaming, chickens clucking, life’s busy, am I right?
Now, some folks say you gotta thaw them peppers out first. Me? I say, why bother? I ain’t got all day to wait around for no peppers to thaw. I just throw them right in the pan, frozen solid. Yeah, you heard me right. Frozen! They cook up just fine, trust me. Been doin’ it this way for years and ain’t nobody complained yet.
- Get yourself a good pan. A big ol’ skillet is what I use.
- Put a little oil in the pan, just enough to coat the bottom. Don’t go crazy with it, you ain’t fryin’ chicken here.
- Heat up that oil, medium-high heat should do the trick. You want it hot enough to sizzle, but not so hot that it smokes up the whole house.
Okay, now dump them frozen bell pepper strips right into that hot pan. Hear that sizzle? That’s the sound of good cookin’, let me tell ya. Now, you gotta stir them peppers around, don’t let them stick to the bottom. Keep them movin’ and shakin’, just like you’re dancin’ at a barn dance.
After a few minutes, them peppers will start to soften up and release some water. That’s perfectly normal, don’t you worry none. Just keep stirrin’ and cookin’ until most of that water is gone. You want them peppers tender, not soggy, you understand?
Now, here’s where you can get creative. You can add some onions, maybe some garlic. I like to throw in a pinch of salt and pepper, maybe a little bit of paprika if I’m feelin’ fancy. You can add whatever spices you like, really. It’s your kitchen, your rules.
If you want to roast them peppers, you can do that too. Just spread them frozen peppers on a baking sheet, drizzle with a little oil, and sprinkle with salt. Toss them in the oven at about 400 degrees for maybe 30 or 40 minutes. Keep an eye on them, you don’t want them to burn. They’re done when they’re nice and soft and maybe a little bit browned around the edges.
You can also toss them frozen bell pepper strips into soups or stews. Just throw them in towards the end, they don’t need long to cook. They’ll add some good flavor and color to your dish. Frozen peppers are pretty versatile, you can use them in just about anything.
Once them peppers are cooked to your liking, you can use them however you want. Throw them in an omelet, add them to a stir-fry, mix them into some rice. Heck, you can even eat them just as they are. They’re good for ya, you know. Full of vitamins and all that healthy stuff. Keeps you strong, like me.
So there you have it. That’s how I cook frozen bell pepper strips. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. No need to be a fancy chef to make good food. Just a little bit of common sense and a whole lotta love. Now go on and try it for yourself. You won’t be disappointed. And if you are, well, don’t come cryin’ to me. I already told you how to do it!
