Notes

Helpful Recipe Tips

Pay attention to the bell peppers you choose. Try to get bell peppers that aren't super tall. Also, make sure they can stand straight up to keep them from falling over.
Don't add cheese until the final minutes. The heating element is at the top so imagine the cheese will melt super fast from basically being broiled.
