Preparation

Step 1

Heat olive oil over medium high heat. Cook onions until they begin to become translucent (about 1 minute). Add garlic and cook about 1 more minute. Add ground pork and chorizo and cook until meat browns. Add the rest of the ingredients and cover cooking for about 15 minutes (stir regularly).

Stuff roasted green bell peppers and place in a backing dish. Cook at 350 F for about 20 minutes. Top with shredded cheese (optional) and turn broiler on low. Cook until cheese melts.
