GROUND BEEF STUFFED GREEN BELL PEPPERS WITH CHEESE RECIPE …
We had these not too long ago and we both decided that they needed a little more seasoning. We put a little hot pepper sauce on them and they were much better. I would probably include 2 teaspoons in the meat mix the next time that I make them.
