Stuffed Bell Peppers

We have posted a recipe with stuffed mini bell peppers before, but last night we made the full size version peppers of it. It was really good, although we didn't salt it enough, but adding it later was just as good.

cooked and ready to eat!

What we liked:

Easy and good!

What we didn't like:

Not enough salt :(, but it's easily fixed. 

What Kaspian thought about it:

He was more into his bean burrito

Next time:

Just add more salt - but we didn't really measure anything out this time around, so that's what we get!
