The advantage of using green peppers is that the flavor is more intense and flavors everything. I made my version of stuffed green peppers and used red bell peppers and the taste was definitely not the same.
I also am wondering if you could use raw rice and cook the peppers longer to get the same results.

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?
