These were my first attempt at stuffed peppers. Never had one ever in my life, but they sound good so I gave them a try. Very good!!! I used red peppers thought they had a sweet flavor. The filling was very flavorful but my husband thought it needed a little more kick next time. I used mild salsa thinking my kids would eat it. The weren't big fans so I guess next time I can put a hotter salsa in the mixture. This is a keeper recipe!
