Stuffed Peppers are a great all-in-one dinner dish. This version is full of protein and easy enough to make even after a tiring day of work.

I just made these for dinner, and they are great! Love the texture. I used 2 pieces of bread and just crumbled the bread into the skillet with my fingers. I added a little cumin and seasoning salt. I was a little lazy and only did a quick blanch of the peppers so added about 15 minutes in the oven. I will make these again. The bread crumbs add good texture with less carbs than rice. Really good!
