I also made sure that there was one left over for me to take for lunch at work today!” - Sammi
Mexican Stuffed Peppers With Ranchero Sauce
“There are a few steps to this stuffed peppers recipe, but don't let them scare you off. These stuffed peppers are fantastic. The filling for the bell pepper is worth making this recipe alone. It's meaty and full of chunks of onion and bell pepper that add tons of flavor. You will have a bit of filling left over but don't worry, it's delicious on its own too. The ranchero sauce is thick, creamy and really elevates the stuffed peppers. This dish does take a little bit of effort, but it's so worth it.” - Kitchen Crew

Thank you Michelle for sharing and for an outstanding and easy recipe!!” - Lynn
