I've made these stuffed green peppers several times now, and they're always a hit! The filling is so flavorful, and the peppers are cooked perfectly. I love that I can make them ahead of time and then just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to eat.

These stuffed green peppers were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more seasoning to the filling next time. The peppers were cooked perfectly, though, and the filling was moist.
