We love stuffed peppers around here. Since we brown most of our meat in advance, this meal is prepared even quicker when we need it to be. Those soccer practices, baseball games, tutoring…
These peppers are very versatile. Add extra cheese or onion, omit the tomatoes if you’re not a fan. We also have used half sausage and half ground beef in a pinch! Doesn’t get much easier than this, and you will definitely want to make leftovers.
