I make stuffed green peppers from time to time, but I'm not familiar with stuffed pepper soup. How do you do that?
Bill, there are many various recipes online. Just brown the beef, chop the peppers, and throw it in the crockpot with your other ingredients. I like food a good bit spicier than Colleen does, so I grind black peppercorns in it & maybe add some hot sauce after I fill my bowl.

Down here we call that beef and sausage chili podnah. Just throw out the cheese and add chili pepper powder.??

Anyone play around with lobster Mac and cheese, or shrimp lobster Mac and cheese? It took me a bit to actually try it. The name doesn’t suggest 5 star but once it finally hit my taste buds, I’m hooked. I double dawg dare you to try it!

Is this fresh made and do you have a recipe.?

Today's football fair will be fresh cut raw veggies - green & red peppers, cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, sweet petite carrots and a small bowl of light dill dip to go with them.
Drinking fair will be a Bottle of 2016 Juan Gil Silver Label Jumilla (Spanish red wine) as recommended by hoorta. If I like it I will stock up because @ $11.70 a bottle with my vet's cash discount it may be the steal that hoorta described to me. I trust his judgement of red wines for sure.

Cheap frozen pepperoni pizza doctored up with extra sauce, cheese, some bacon, and canadian bacon, (hey it's around 10 degrees here Dayton way) but finished off with a 2011 Columbia Crest Cabernet Reserve that was heavily discounted from $50 down to $20.. Us guys on retirement income are always on the lookout for bargains...
Currently watching the Lunar eclipse through broken clouds...

I have only had it out to eat. Seems to me tho that you would just take your favorite Mac and cheese and stir in a bit of lobster meat. I bet crab would be good too. One place is serving a fish sandwich with a scoop of lobster mac and cheese on it. Now that’s some good stuff Maynard

Normally this is done over coals but I opted for the easy (lazy) route.
I had seven beef back rib bones that got a couple coats of olive oil and rub. I foiled them and left them in a 250° degree oven for five hours, then broiled to get a crust.
My only complaint about beef ribs is the amount of flesh. The first two ribs on the shoulder end are nice and meaty. Towards the short loin end, they cut them a little slim...there's so much meat on the prime rib roast a butcher can spare a little less for the roast and more for the ribs.

Basically, you are correct. It's best to boil your own lobster, then use the water you boiled the lobster in to boil your pasta. Otherwise, just tossing some lobster meat in the mac and cheese is somewhat bland. It tastes like mac and cheese with some lobster in it.
Don't toss that lobster water down the drain. Reserve it after cooking to use if you need to thin out the dish a bit.

I hear using the shells imparts a lot of flavor too.

No doubt. After you peel the meat, toss the shells back in to the water to cook the pasta. I should have added that earlier.

Lobster is only recently deemed an edible critter, at least in America. In my trip out to the Maine coast Bar Harbor way I found out back in colonial times lobsters were so plentiful, they'd wash up on the shore after a big storm. Farmers prized them so highly- they'd gather them up, and toss them on their fields- for fertilizer.
One thing I did get a charge out of as a side trip that time was visiting the Boston Aquarium, and getting to see Larry the Lobster- the putative world's biggest, weighing in at 52 pounds.

Had a friend once who was averse to ever trying crawfish. So I invited him over for baby lobster tails on the grill. He loved those baby lobster tails in draw butter and wondered where I had gotten them. So I told him they were in season if you walked up the tributary to Horsetooth Reservoir near Ft. Collims at night with a flashlight and just picked them out of the stream. Now he thought lobsters were saltwater so I explained that in Colorado they were freshwater and in Louisiana they called them crawfish. LOL! He kept right on eating them though.??

So any special SUPER BOWL LIII plans, parties or eats in the works?
We would lkke to hear them.

We would like to hear them.

Our host calls it the Soup-er Chilli bowl. Bring soup or chilli, or whatever.... 20-30 folks in attendance... Much wine and beer will be swilled. Including the magnum (that's 1.5 liters for non wine folks) of the last of my stash of 1982 Chateau Pavie that's been sitting in his wine cellar since summer.... Some come for the football, some come for the wine, some come for the food, some who watch just one game a year come to watch the commercials...
I just might do something simple like this quick and easy nacho dip. 1\3 browned Italian sausage, 1\3 velveeta, and 1\3 salsa at a heat level you're comfortable with. Melt in microwave until hot and cheese is melted... We did some tonight watching the Senior Bowl. Wife doesn't like heat, so her choice is Pace Picante Mild. I heated my portion up with Melinda's XXXX Reserve Habanero. Break out the beer when you turn up the heat...
Getting late, but if I want to spend a couple hours in the kitchen- I'll post the recipe for my Swiss onion soup when I get a chance... Chicken stock base with gruyere cheese... Us winos have lots of great recipes... but usually the prep time required is proportional to how great it turns out in the end...
