I normally stuff the peppers with a mixture of boiled potatoes, green onion, herbs,ginger n garlic .. Thanks for sharing .. Will try this version but do you really need to steam the peppers or can they cook for a wee bit longer in the oven ?0

Loved it! Didn't use the hit sauce because I made it for my kids... But it turned out great!

I found while the tabasco sauce gave a little heat there was no flavour to it so I added the other hot sauce to the recipe. The hot sauces could be substituted with your favourite adjusting quantities to taste. With a small salad this made a great meal for supper and it wasn't your typical bland stuffed peppers. Tasted great and I will be making this one again. Wanted a stuffed pepper to go with some chicken breasts I was having so I tried this one without the ground beef. It turned out great. I will definitely use it when I want a stuffed pepper without meat as well. [I posted this recipe.]
