I'm not sure about this recipe. It seems like it would be too spicy for me.

I'm allergic to bell peppers, so I used zucchini instead. The peppers were still delicious!

I made these peppers in a slow cooker and they turned out great. I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker and cooked them on low for 8 hours.

These peppers were a great way to use up some leftover vegetables. I had some bell peppers, onions, and zucchini that I needed to use up, and this recipe was perfect.

I thought the peppers were a bit bland. I added some extra seasoning and they were much better.

The peppers were a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
