Beef & Ham Stuffed Bell Peppers image

This is the way my mom always made stuffed peppers. I don't cook the meat before stuffing. The sauce has a smoky flavor. If you don't have any ground ham, you can add a ham hock, ham shank, or ham bone to the pot for extra flavor.

Meh. This recipe was just okay. The filling was a little too salty for my taste and the peppers were a bit undercooked. I wouldn't make this dish again.

Not bad! This recipe was pretty good. The filling was a little bland for my taste, but the peppers were cooked perfectly. I would probably try a different filling next time.
