Made these last night for dinner. Big hit. Should've salted the meat a little more, and maybe next time I'll add... something else. Or not. I used three cloves of diced garlic (will use more next time--I love garlic) and did add some tomatoes I had in the fridge that were headed for the compost heap in a few days. I had enough filling for four large red peppers and three small green ones and didn't need to use the filling to keep the peppers upright--all the filling stuffed the peppers (heaping). We liked the red peppers better.
