Chef Tips
You can use any color of bell peppers you like. Green peppers are a little more bitter and the red, yellow and orange are sweeter.
Sweeten sauce with sugar. Add as much or as little sugar as you would like. I love a sweet tomato sauce to accompany the savory stuffed peppers.
For vegetarian option you can substitute meat with cauliflower
