Mexican Stuffed Bell Peppers image

These mild flavored peppers have a filling that is sweet and somewhat reminiscent of the sweet tamales we get during the holidays. Cook and prep time do Not include time need to make the corn bread as I quite often make it either the night before. If in a time crunch you could always buy a pre-made 9x9 corn bread.

These stuffed bell peppers were a great way to use up some leftover rice. They were also a good way to get my kids to eat their vegetables.

The stuffed bell peppers were a bit too dry. I think I'll add some more sauce next time.

These stuffed bell peppers were a little too cheesy for my taste. I think I'll use less cheese next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my peppers turned out a little too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less chili powder.
