“Great flavor — the meat wasn’t dry at all. Two suggestions: don’t add the extra seasoning salt. I didn’t, and it tasted just salty enough with the other seasonings. Also, cut the bell peppers in half, and stuff the halves instead of a big pepper. It makes the bell pepper easier to eat, and if you’re not as hungry you can have a smaller meal. Overall, a great low-carb meal!”
