Stuffed peppers has been a a fan favorite in my family ever since Costoco made its appearance a few miles down the road. Pick it up and put it in the oven. Me trying to be the crafty-crocker that I am – I set out and sifted through a number of different recipes for my tasting. Adjusting them according to my palate and my (broke after-college living situation) I’ve got it down to a science. Costco has nothing on me…except hundreds of stores and millions of fans nationwide.
