Assorted Stuffed Peppers

This stuffed peppers are one of my kids’ favorites. The sweet tender hearty peppers and the rich flavored ground beef stuffing with the mozzarella melting are just a wonderful balance. This can be a very yummy veggie dish if you skip the ground beef and replace it with more rice in the cooking process.
