Notes
Replace meat options with whatever your favorites are if you do not like beef or sausage. Chicken works well too!
You may want to add some salt to the inside of the green peppers before stuffing with filling.
During cooking the cheddar cheese will become very crispy. If you want a less crispy cheese cover the peppers with foil of add the cheese for the last 10 minutes of cooking.
