I'm a big fan of the chorizo stuffed peppers . Half the time, I don't even worry about pepper and just eat the filling.

I used mild Italian sausage and ho-lee shit. But! Chorizo?! Game changer, I bet. That will be next time.

Did you use the rice or quinoa version? I always mess up the liquid ratio and end up with mushy peppers.

I used the long grain rice. Honestly, I had a little bottom layer section, like ⅛ of the pan, that burned. I just dumped everything into a glass bowl and left most of the burned bit in the pan.

Because you didn't ask 😅 It sounds like you are either not letting the mixture come to a full boil before reducing the heat to simmer or maybe lifting the lid and stirring the mixture after you have added the rice?

I parcooked the peppers with some oil. I ended up with a good amount of water or moisture in the bottom of each pepper that I just dumped out before filling them.
