Stuffed peppers are all about the healthy, right? After all, it's a vegetable we're stuffing here, not a calzone. Well, hold on to your socks, because we've put the classic flavors of cheeseburger in a pepper. From the ground beef to the cheese to the sweet dressing on top, this is a cheeseburger in all but bun. Healthy? Yes, but also delicious.
