Sometimes I make something that is seemingly simple, but is unbelievably delicious. This is one of those recipes. I am working hard to stay away from beef and carbs and this recipe made it so one of these stuffed peppers was perfect for my lunch/dinner. No need for anything else.
Did I say YUMMY? It’s worth saying again. I thoroughly enjoyed these stuffed pepper and I’m glad I wrote the recipe down so I can make them again anytime.
Enjoy!
Update: My husband was on a work trip and was tired of going out to eat, so he started cooking. This recipe was one of the ones he wound up making and he loved it. It was easy and he was able to make the peppers in advance and let them rest in the refrigerator until he was ready to cook.
