Recipe Notes
Stuffed peppers are great for a lot of reasons. One is that it is essentially a one pot meal. Cook up the stuffing in a pan, stuff the peppers, rinse out the pan, put the stuffed peppers in the pan, and pop it in the oven.
This recipe calls for two large peppers that are each about a 12 or 13 ounces. If you can’t find ones that large, use two medium peppers for each serving (four peppers total).
