So Stuffed Bell Peppers are something that my parents made when I was a kid; it was pretty much the only way they could get all of my siblings and me to eat rice!
It’s effortless to make, and the flavor is fantastic! Dan and I make it at least twice a month! I love it. I wouldn’t eat the peppers when I was a kid, but they are my favorite part now.
Dan loves that the top gets all crispy when you bake it. He usually eats the top off of mine too! Anyway, Dan is making a meatloaf right now, and I want to watch!
