This was really easy to do. I boiled the peppers to soften them a little, and I also browned the meat a little. My husband and I both think it needed something else to jazz it up. I screwed up and put all the mazzarella in all at once. It might have been good with some taco seasoning or something (I know- that's not Italian.). I made this for New Kids on the Block Recipe Tag. Thanks for posting, Patty9901.
