Stuffed Peppers

We found these during Happy Hour at Chiso’s Grill in Bee Cave, Tx. We’ve since tweaked the recipe a bit. This recipe is just a starting point, add/remove anything you want (like more hot sauce if you’re into that). Sometimes I order the peppers on Amazon. My favorite hot sauces are Franks Red Hot, Jardine’s Texas Champagne, and of course, Yellowbird.

Fun fact: Peppedew Peppers are basically a new thing. They are the brand name of piquante peppers, which were discovered in South Africe in just 1993. Hat tip to Wikipedia for the schooling.
