For some extra flavor, I like to add bouillon to the dish while the peppers bake. It also steams them a little. If I make these with ground chicken or turkey, I use chicken bouillon; if I make them with ground beef, I use beef bouillon. -Hope Huggins, Santa Cruz, California

I've made this recipe with ground turkey and it was just as good as with ground beef.

I'm allergic to bell peppers, so I used zucchini instead and it was still delicious.
