I made these last night and I was very very pleased. I used green peppers, as they aren't as sweet as red. I omitted the green onion. I used cheese with mild salsa, but might use medium next time. At the end, I sprinkled some cheddar cheese on top and popped back in the oven for 3 min, just so they wouldn't look so naked. Very, very, VERY good!
