Especially very fresh red bell peppers are quite sweet! Yellows and Orange too! I used to shoestring some and fry them lightly in EVOO and YUM as a pasta alternative!

You know Jill will be all over this. Perhaps she can steam something on the
side.

Not if you don't like bell peppers, no matter their color.

I've got to ask: If you don't like bell peppers, why did you open
a thread entitled "cooking with bell peppers"?

To see what their results were and hoping for something different but I was
disappointed; same old, same old.

I thought 'A Moose in Love' started the thread. Are you asking why she
read and replied? I did, in vague hopes of learning something. I'm not
a huge fan of bell peppers, either. I use bell peppers very sparingly.
Don't like the taste or texture.

Raw red pepper on a cheese sandwich isn't "cooking". Oh well. Nothing
to see here.

I love all colors both raw and cooked but I love green in chili, Spanish
rice and toasted cheese sandwiches.

I prefer raw jalapeno on a cheese sandwich. Mmmm. Maybe that's what I'll
have for lunch...

i like red peppers the best, but only certain ones as i grew
some last year that weren't all that good in comparison to
previous years' peppers.

i will eat several a day when they start coming in. some
years i've had as many as 30something plants, this year i
only put in 9 plants (3 of each of red, green and yellow).
greens get used for salads and chili, reds for fresh eating
or cooking, yellow i don't know if i even like them so
we'll see.

I made some beef tomato which is a Hawaiian adaptation of a Cantonese dish. I'd like to use red or yellow peppers but they cost over twice the price than the lowly green bell pepper so no dice. OTOH, they pretty much taste the same to me.

It's pretty much standard stir fry. I don't add any Chinese stuff like oyster sauce or 5-spice. Mostly, you just use whatever you have in the fridge. The taste should be fresh, bright, and slightly sweet with a bell pepper and tomato taste. The sauce would be some ketchup, soy sauce, and maybe a little garlic. You could add some ginger but I didn't this time. I add the tomatoes at the end and try not to cook them.

Same here. Over twice the price so no thanks. I stick to
the green bell peppers but always cooked a bit.
