I love stuffed peppers! There are so many ways you can stuff them! This one is a Mexican style version using rotel tomatoes and taco seasonings, but you can also make an Italian style version by substituting the rotel tomatoes with Italian diced tomatoes and Italian seasonings. These are so versatile and easy to make! You can also use any color pepper you like! The red ones are sweeter so those are my absolute favorite color peppers! I hope you give this recipe a try!
