Author Notes
My mom used to make peppers stuffed with ground beef a lot, but she never roasted them, instead she cooked them in a pot with the lid closed in some water. Since I prefer roasted veggies to boiled, I went with the oven instead of the pot on the stove top. It's delicious, healthy and nice looking dish also benefits from quick and easy cooking.
