Do you ever get annoyed with the traditional stuffed pepper recipes with all the steps? For example, you have to cut the peppers up, remove the seeds, bake them before you stuff them and then make the filling. When you’re not feeling well, that’s a lot of steps. My mother in law made her stuffed peppers this way and it’s genius!
