Mexican Stuffed Bell Peppers image

These mild flavored peppers have a filling that is sweet and somewhat reminiscent of the sweet tamales we get during the holidays. Cook and prep time do Not include time need to make the corn bread as I quite often make it either the night before. If in a time crunch you could always buy a pre-made 9x9 corn bread.

I thought these stuffed bell peppers were just okay. The filling was a bit bland and the peppers were a bit too soft.

I would have liked the filling to be a bit more moist. Maybe I should have added some more tomato sauce.
