My Aunt loved Greek-style food and these are her Mediterranean Stuffed Peppers. They are completely adaptable with substitutions of other ingredients to add to the filling, are easy to make, and can be frozen and taken out when needed! Delicious stuffed with meat, rice, feta cheese, and kalamata olives baked to perfection. These are so easy to make and a nice change of flavors.
