Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Place ground meat in a medium size bowl.

Add next 10 ingredients to ground meat and stir.

Remove stems and seeds from your peppers. Then cut in half.

Spray a 9x13 casserole pan with non-stick spray and place peppers in pan.

Fill your peppers with your meat mixture.

Once you have filled your peppers, bake for 30-40 minutes. Test pepper filling with a meat thermometer at 30 minutes. Peppers are finished when the filling reaches 165 degrees.

When your peppers have been in the oven 30 minutes brush them with the Lime Apricot Glaze. You can do this more than once. Be careful not to cross contaminate your glaze. Keep your tableside glaze separate from your oven glaze.
