  1. Making this recipe for the first time. So easy to put together. Can’t wait to see how they turn out! I ended up with a lot of extra meat after packing my peppers. Any recommendations on what to do with it? Thanks!

    1. If I have extra meat, I usually brown it up and toss it with some rice. I hope that helps!

  2. These peppers are the best! One of my favorite dinners of all time. 😀
