These are spicy, if you prefer less kick, cut the chili powder in half. I doubled the filling ingredients,(for 5 whole peppers) as we like our peppers meaty, and omitted the carrots. I substituted tomato soup for the tomato sauce. If you prefer a softer pepper, pre-cook in boiling water for 3-5 minutes.
