Notes
You can use green, yellow or orange peppers in this recipe. I personally prefer the red pepper for it's sweeter flavor and extra nutrients like beta carotene and vitamins like C. The red pepper actually packs more C than an orange! If dairy isn't a problem I love using sour cream too. Also, you can use your choice of ground beef, turkey, chicken or bison. Please use grass-fed and organic produce when you can.
