This was good and easy to make. I followed the recipe except I didn't have fresh peppers and onions but I freeze them so I used 3 cups of peppers and 1 cup of sweet onion. I didn't cook my ground beef in butter. I also omitted the two cups of water as I thought that was way too much liquid. Next time I would also cut back the pepper to maybe 1/2 teaspoon as it was too hot for my taste. I didn't add the optional beef bouillon powder. This also reheated well for lunches.
