Ta dahhh! These peppers were so flavorful - even my 14yo DS gobbled them up! I used half a pound of meat since there was only three of us and pre-cooked/crumbled bacon. The chili powder is what really makes this dish shine! Instead of parboiling the peppers, I broiled them for a few minutes upside down until they were just starting to blacken, then flipped, filled and baked at 350 for 15 minutes, turned out just right without heating the kitchen for tooo long on this hot summer night.

Tried this one last night, doubled the recipe as instructed and it was a hit with the family! I'm new to the cooking world as I'm learning to walk and talk again after a stroke, but so far, good. I used a custom blend of Montreal Steak Seasoning in lieu of salt and pepper. Great recipe for those who have to watch carb intake and the chile powder really does add just the right touch.
