For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the meat mixture. Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as cremini or shiitake, for a unique flavor profile. If you don't have bread crumbs, crushed crackers or rolled oats can be used as a substitute. To prevent the peppers from browning too much, you can tent the baking dish with aluminum foil during the first 30 minutes of baking. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave or oven.
