Italian Stuffed Peppers
I have always loved stuffed peppers and stuffed cabbage. Typically I make my stuffed peppers with more of a mexican flavor, using rice, beans, corn, chili powder, cheddar cheese. However, the last couple times I’ve stepped into the kitchen to make stuffed peppers I’ve made them with more of an Italian flavor. Recipe Card
