Another way - we grow them in the garden, so I freeze "the glut", too -
works out great. After prepping, I cut them into slices about 1/4" - 1/3"
and freeze. If I need dice, I'll chop the frozen slices. Unless I need
squares in a recipe, they also work in stir fries. I find that the
red/yellow/orange varieties are expensive in the supermarket, so stock up
on mixed bags from Costco and freeze them the same way. Just don't try
using any of them if you need a crisp, fresh pepper, though.
