Hi Lisa Yes you can use any color pepper, I love to use the red ones because they are a bit sweeter. That is my personal choice. "Stuff each pepper with a good amount of the ground beef and rice mixture" So no do not cook the meat before hand If you put a small hole at the bottom of each pepper, the fat will drain out of that. I personally always use the leanest of meats so there is not much fat or grease that needs to be released. I hope this has helped? Smile Sugar

I'm unsure about cooking the hamburger first or just throwing it in raw with the cooked rice. I can't tell based on the directions. Also, I'm assuming any color pepper in addition to the usual green would work?
