I do not like green bell peppers, are red, yellow or orange peppers any more carbs than the green ones?
Hi Roselyn, other peppers are higher in carbs then green ones. I would recommend using a nutrition calculator like MyFitnessPal to determine the nutrition information for other peppers.
This is a great recipe. Took a bit of time to prepare vegetables and sauté them, but it was worth it. I’m not crazy about provolone cheese so I used a a Kraft cheddar combo cheese I had on hand. I used a higher fat content ground beef to safe money. It was really good. I heated up the left overs in my air fryer and it was amazing! I’ll make this recipe often.
I am glad you enjoyed it, Gaylina! Your alterations sounds great, thanks for sharing.
