  1. These look delicious ! I love how the quinoa would make you be able to stretch the ground beef to feed more people too šŸ™‚ great recipe <3

  2. I love the SW flavor. I'm going to give it a try. Could you please add the measurements in your description? I don't want to over spice them. TY.

  3. These look, great love, all the spices have shared this with my friend who love beef and spices and this combo is right up her street !Ā as mine of course!

  4. What a great stuffed pepper recipe! We're big fans of stuffed peppers. Your version with so many wonderful flavors is one to try for sure! Many thanks!

  5. I made these for my husband tonight and he loves them, which is a miracle because he's a meat and potato kind of guy. I didn't need to use the whole filling so; my question is can I freeze the filling for later?
