Southwestern Style Stuffed Peppers a la Lindsey!

My youngest daughter graduated from college and is now back home awaiting the fall term to begin the teaching credential program. She made dinner for us last night and it was delicious. I ate every bite! When she first said she was going to make stuffed peppers, visions of my childhood danced in my head. Those were okay but not what I expected my daughter to decide to prepare!

Needless to say, I was inquisitive. Did she have a recipe? Nope. She was trying to remember some that she had tasted a year ago....she landed this one! She wrote up what she did and I had to share!
