I haven’t tried this yet since the ground beef amount has been left out of the ingredient list.
Sorry I truly thought it was there. It’s just 1lb. Thanks for checking it out. 🙂
I really enjoyed the stuffing for these! Very delicious.
My only issue was that for some reason the peppers didnt soften and I couldnt leave them in longer since the tops were drying out. I might have to try covering them next time… any other suggestions?
Try covering the dish with foil for half of the cook time and then removing for the 2nd half of the cook time or try cooking on a lower rack in your oven. Glad you like them. 😊
