This recipe is for stuffed bell peppers southwest style. It is from Sandra Lee's Semi-Homemade magazine August/Sept. 2009. It is delicious and filling. The kids enjoyed it too. It is fast and to table in no time. If you want a bigger kick use hot sausage if not use mild. If you can't find McCormick Grill Mates mix, I found a generic in the packet section of the local supermarket. Beware you might have extra filling depending on your pepper size so buy another pepper or save the filling and serve as leftovers the next day. Good stuff. Enjoy! ChefDLH
