These stuffed red peppers are scrumptious. Everybody who's tried these loves them, even the picky eaters. My fiance lights up when he hears we're having stuffed peppers for dinner, and my mom is always taking the leftovers to work with her. Every time I go to make these I have a hard time finding the recipe, even though I should have it memorized by now. I figured it might be a good idea to make a easy to find hard copy. Plus, something this delicious needs to be shared. Please try this recipe and share it with the ones you love. They will love you for it;) Enjoy!
