I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

These peppers were a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them.

I wasn't sure how these would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised! The peppers were stuffed with a flavorful mixture of ground beef, rice, and vegetables. They were baked in a tomato sauce and the result was a delicious and hearty meal.

I made these peppers last night and they were delicious! The only change I made was to use ground turkey instead of beef.
