STUFFED BELL PEPPERS

So this recipe comes from my hubby! Every now and then he likes to get in the kitchen and cook a meal too! This is always nice for me because then I can kick back and watch him cook for a change of pace. I would have to say that this is a very nice little switch-up that he and I have going on. Although I have to say that I think I am the better cook but don’t tell him that!

He really loves stuffed peppers. He told me that he had really nice meal planned for. I was A-OK with that! I was not about to argue with that man if he wanted to cook! He told me that he was making stuffed peppers, but that he found a recipe where he could make these stuffed peppers in the crockpot. I was impressed because I had never thought about that before!

He served me a delicious meal of Mexican stuffed peppers. This recipe was so delicious! I knew that we were going to have to make this recipe again! He made a bunch of them and froze them in the freezer! I need to give my hubby some credit more often! He really made a delicious dinner. This is definitely a yummy recipe that I recommend everyone should try!
