6 green peppers
1 1/2 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. finely chopped onion
1/4 tsp. finely chopped garlic

3 c. diced cooked potatoes
1 c. diced processed American cheese

Boil for 5 minutes. Remove peppers from water, invert on tray to drain well. Saute onion and garlic in 2 tablespoons bacon drippings for 3 to 4 minutes or until limp.
