First of all, welcome aboard Mrs. Stomp! It is truly a privilege to see the "Boss's" Boss on this site. Lov'n "The Galley" and the recipes! Thanks for this Stomp though my cardiologist doesn't share my enthusiasm. Stuffed peppers are one of my favorites and my wonderful and beautiful partner in life ( she told me that she doesn't like me using the term "Lady Friend"), her name is Tcharlii and she makes her peppers with bear and elk along with the basic ingredients but adds potatoes, water chestnuts and some other crunchy Romanian things that she calls..."love". In addition, she introduces some "hot Sauce" and garlic to the meat during preparation. These are cooked on the bbq or wood fire. I don't know if it is the cooking technique, ingredients or a combination of both but these things are in a taste category all of their own! Amazing!!!
So, don't restrict yourselves to ground beef, try wild game some time...delicious!!!
