Ground Beef and Rice Stuffed Bell Peppers – l’ve learned that most people either love them or hate them.  I’m one of those who has ALWAYS hated them!  When I was a kid, my mom would always make mine and cook my meatball thing in a separate dish from everyone else because I wouldn’t even touch it if it was in the pepper. It’s the bell pepper thing, I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I’ve sent a pizza back because it came topped with them.  The funny thing is that I love hot peppers!

For those of you who do like Ground Beef and Rice Stuffed Bell Peppers, be thankful that I have a new friend named Julianna.  She’s contributing new recipes to the site and this just happens to be one of them.  Did you happen to see her Pumpkin Butter recipe?
