I just made these - they are delicious and easy to make. I added a bit of leftover rice and used salsa instead of tomato sauce. There was enough to stuff 4 more peppers. I froze it and will used it later or put it in a wrap.

This was very easy to make and the taste was great. Next time I might add cheese to the meat mixture and try a red pepper for variety. My husband said these were not boring like regular stuffed peppers.
