Every family has recipes that they make regularly, but how often do they get to share them?---Not very...right? Well, tonight I am going to share one of my favorites with you, stuffed peppers. In our family we make them with rice, beef, sauce, and cheese rather than a traditional bread stuffing. This recipe is so easy and so delicious! It would be great to serve to guests for a get-together or just for the fam on a relaxing night. I hope that you enjoy this recipe...Let me know what you think.
(...Just wait for me to reveal my delicious dessert...or scroll down and ruin the surprise! ha!)
