Well, sorta They awarded one grand prize and five honorable mentions. Mine was one of the honorables.  Here it is: Chorizo Stuffed Red Peppers 1 c orzo pasta olive oil for sauteing 1lb chorizo sausage, loose 1 medium onion, diced 1 10oz pack frozen peas*, thawed 1 8oz bottle taco saue 6 red bell peppers Cook the orzo just al dente, drain, set aside. Heat oil in a pan and lightmy brown and crumble the chorizo with the onion. In a large bowl, combine the chorizo, orzo, peas, and 1/2 cup of taco sauce, mix well. Slice the tops off the red peppers, remove ribs and inner seeds. Fill each one with the mixture, and spread a dollop of taco sauce across the top. Bake covered in a 350o oven 30 minutes or until soft. *I actually like to use a package of okra instead of the peas, but my wife thought it would turn people off :|   You could also substitute rice for the pasta. Oh BTW, the grand prize winner was a fancy apple pie :/ Michael K.

The recipe looks good but I won't be trying it. I once made stuffed green peppers that my family found so bad that the dish became a family legend. I think that any stuffed pepper no matter how good would be refused at my house. ;-} Bert

Congratulations...Isn't it nice to be noticed and appreciated for doing something we love.  I once won prizes at our local ag fair for a cake and some preserves.  Competition is tough, you outta be proud. Congrats again. I cast a jaundiced eye at recipe contests. A number of years ago, Weight Watchers had a recipe contest where there was one BIG winner (many thousands of dollars plus a long, luxurious trip for 2) and 4 runners-up, each of whom won something like a blender. The 4 runner-up recipes were FABULOUS!  I still use them frequently. The BIG winner?  The recipe ran something like this: take a chicken breast, flatten it, wrap a lump of margarine in it, dip in milk and coat with bread crumbs
