Notes
* depending on the size of your peppers you may have filling leftover. If so, lightly coat baking dish with olive oil. Bake mixture at 400 degrees for 25-30 min, or until ground beef is cooked through. Use this for: a quick lunch or dinner bowl or throw into tortilla shells for a burrito.
** we cooked the peppers on high for 3 hours
*** if you don't have a blender or food processor, just chop up cilantro leaves as small as you can, add all ingredients to a bowl, and stop to combine.
