In the meantime, brown hamburger and minced onion until meat changes color. Add remaining ingredients. stuff the pepper cases with meat mixture; top with bread crumbs and melted butter. Bake at 375° for 40 minutes or until tender and brown on top.
Notes:
These are a great spicy appetizer and a true South Texas tradition, but you may also want to try my stuffed mushrooms in the Vegetables and Side Dishes Section. Don’t worry about these being too hot or spicy, because after baking, the full bodied flavor mixes with the other ingredients to satisfy most palates. 40
