Submitted by Heavens Kitchen

"This delicious recipe is an old time favorite. I forgot how much I Ioved stuffed green peppers. I decided to make them one day and this is what I came up with. Using ground pork, beef and veal together gives it the best flavor. This dish is great for an afternoon snack and the leftovers are great reheated the next day for lunch."
