You are going to love this Mini Stuffed Peppers Recipe I am sharing with you tonight. The hubby and I enjoyed these for lunch. I will admit, I did not stop at just one or two. Oh No, I consumed about 10-15 and I am a hurting unit tonight, ha ha. They were so good and I just couldn’t quite eating more. The hubby consumed a bit too many as well. Little mini sweet peppers with tons of flavor. These Mini Stuffed Peppers will become your favorite go to for an appetizer or meal. They are small enough to be be a finger type food.

Now I am totally addicted.
Mini Stuffed Peppers
You can grab bags of mini peppers at your local grocery quite cheap. I had some ground beef in the freezer (I like to stock up when it is on sale). The rice on the other hand I had ran out of. These kiddos of mine eat rice for a snack and forgot to tell me that they finished all of the rice yesterday. So, I had to make a quick trip to Kroger in the middle of cooking. GRR this momma was not happy, ha ha.
