Very good although I used poblanos instead of cubanelle because I couldn't find them. The flavors were different but in a very good way. made this recipe a favorite

It is quick & easy. The flavor is very mild, unremarkable. After browning I put in a slow cooker, and added store bought Sofrito sauce to save weeknight time. I added some carrot, sweet pepper, onion, celery to add a bit of flavor. I will make again with fresh sofrito but I think it can't really gain much more flavor from that.

Never made anything like this before. Only sub I used was a Yellow Bell instead of Green, and I used Bouillon instead of stock (We love the salty bouillon). My 12 year old literally drank the liquid out of the pan like soup. My wife and kids were happy to tell me to add this to the rotation. I make homemade Yellow Rice with Black beans and corn in the rice cooker. It was very good.
