BEEF AND QUINOA STUFFED BELL PEPPERS
I made this recipe for a challenge in the Culinary Quest. Since I had quinoa to use up and wasn't sure what I was going to use it for, I decided to pretend it was rice. I used two other recipes to make this. The first being Recipe #16399 by dibs. Then prepared it like Debbwl suggested... Recipe #415970. I hope you enjoy this dish. *Note: Prep and Cook times do not include toasting of quinoa or resting times.
