Overall this was very good, I completely spaced putting in the tomato soup so I ate the finished dish with a bit of ketchup, still worked. I would suggest blanching the peppers though, mine came out a little bit tough.

Another wonderful recipe from Shapeweaver! We wanted to try a different type of stuffed peppers, and this recipe was wonderful! It was really easy too!
