The best thing about this recipe is how easy it was! It was so quick and easy and overall, it’s a good recipe. I do not care for black olives so I opted out of using those, and I thought about adding bacon but honestly was too lazy for the extra step. For next time, I would add more feta, maybe some garlic, and more onion. I didn’t actually measure the onion so I don’t think I used enough. This was a good start to a stuffed pepper but it was a little lackluster, maybe the olives would add something special to it. Good luck, see what you can do to make this stuffed pepper unique!
