These were awesome. I did 1/2 red and 1/2 green peppers. The best recipe for Stuffed Peppers!

My husband and I loved this! A very healthy dish also which always scores big points with me - my 2 1/2 y/o son wasn't a fan (we are having a hard time getting him to eat things that are mixed together) but my 11 month old daughter loved it. One bite and she had a big grin on her face! I used multi-colored peppers to make it pretty and brown rice for added fiber. Thanks for a delicious, healthy recipe to add to my cookbook! Made for PAC Spring 2009.
