Author Notes: Growing up we always called these Bulgarian Pork Chops...mom used the same technique with hamburger patties. Now I don't know if they're Bulgarian or not, but they sure make for a great dinner. Serve them up with mashed potatoes or buttered noodles. - inpatskitchen

Made this last night & was delicious! I love how all the colors of the peppers made the dish pop and look fancy. I agree with Nikud. I was also running out of recipe ideas & it turned out to be a hit. Nice & easy to make.

I'm so glad you enjoyed them Jezi.....try it with burger patties...mix the ground beef with egg, fresh bread crumbs, salt, pepper and parsley..do the same way but simmer for less time (maybe 20 to 25 minutes) And thanks so much!
