I hate green peppers! Like, don’t even let them touch anything on my plate hate. They are pungent and gross. I know that almost everyone in the world loves them, but No Thank You! Growing up I wouldn’t touch red, yellow, or orange peppers for fear that they tasted just like the green ones.

Then somewhere down the road I actually tried a yellow pepper. Good grief it tasted nothing like a green pepper! I now love red, yellow, and orange peppers. They are light and sweet and only get sweeter when they are cooked. They make the perfect accompaniment for turkey and chili beans.
