Your bright photo really lifted my spirits! I liked the recipe “peppers with minced meat and cheese in the oven.” Having ratunda peppers in the freezer, I decided to prepare a similar dish and took your recipe as a basis. I changed the dish a little to make it light and dietary, and it turned out great. I prepared the filling without frying and without adding rice or tomatoes. I prepared my own minced pork and beef, to which I added chopped onions and garlic. I added spices - salt, pepper and oregano. Stuffed small peppers and sprinkled with grated cheese. Cooked in a glass container for half an hour at 180 C without foil. I really liked the recipe for its simplicity and ease. Baked peppers with minced meat and cheese in the oven turned out incredibly juicy and aromatic. You can say - dietary) I will cook like this more often! It seems so simple, but how delicious! Thanks to the author for an interesting idea)))
