You really want to mess with a favorite
???
Are these the kind with ground beef, rice, tomato sauce and seasonings inside? A few simple ideas: Mix ground beef and ground pork if you have it, or even a little pork sausage. Add paprika and garlic to give it more of a Hungarian stuffed pepper taste. Mix just a little of the sauce in with the filling and put the rest over the top of the peppers - I assume you could even bake them in the sauce. If you all are ok with spicy, add some diced chile peppers to the sauce on top.
