Stuffed Peppers with Sausage and Beef (Gluten Free)

Now that you have had a little bit of time to try out our families recipe for making white rice, you can put your new cooking skills to the test with these Stuffed Peppers with Sausage and Beef. We are not big fans of green peppers and like to use the red, orange and yellow ones, but if you prefer green then by all means use them. We have substituted corn flakes, parmesan cheese and gluten free bread crumbs as the topping on those times we didn’t have potato chips in the house or wanted to change it up.  Hope you enjoy this recipe and if you have any tips, please share with us!
