This was NOT a knock your socks off recipe. It's a good base recipe but it lacks a depth of flavor. I'll definitely play around with this one in the future.

I was craving some stuffed bell peppers and couldn't find a recipe that appealed to me, until I came across this one. I should have known to look here first!
When I cook rice it takes me a full 30 min so keep that in mind before you start mixing the stuffing, and I used only pork seeing as how the store only had ground beef in 1.5-2 lb containers. I also tried to mix up the flavor a little bit and used half red bell peppers and half green peppers, but hands down the green peppers were the better. I didn't use nearly as much salt or pepper instead I added some Adobo (Puerto Rican seasoning as my husband likes to call it. I did get some cheddar cheese to add to it, but it just seemed like it would be too much, so I opted out of using it.
All in all, this recipe is a wonderful guideline on how to make Stuffed Bell Peppers! I was definitely impressed, and I'm sure it will be requested meal from now on!

This was a great recipe. My husband and I are trying to eat high protein, low carb diet, so I used quinoa instead of rice. Plus I added some sriracha for a bit of a kick. This will definitely be made again.

This recipe was amazing. I used ground turkey and brown rice to make the dish healthier. I also added a can of italian-spiced tomatoes and added it to the rice/turkey mixture. I used the tomato sauce as a layer to coat the bottom of the dish. Finally, topped the peppers with some parmesan cheese and this dish turned out full of flavor. Definitely don't omit the parsley, as it really brightens up the dish.

This was so easy and very very good. If you can't find the regular pork sausage, the Italian pork sausage works as well. I also added a little shreaded cheese on top when completed for presentation. Your family will love you for this one.

This was very tasty and since this was my first time making stuffed peppers I was surprised with how easy it was. I did make a few changes, due to the fact that I keep Kosher I used 1 pound of ground beef and no pork. I also made some taste changes, I added more garlic and 2 Jalapenos to give it a nice kick!

I didn't follow this exactly. I used all beef..I also used thyme, sage, lots of fresh garlc, parsley, cilantro, mint, and alk garden fresh. In addition, I also used quina and brown rice in place of rice. I also doubled the recipe. I stuffed seven large bell peppers and placed them in a large crockpot and steamed in hickory bbq sauce one to one with water for three hours on high. Delicious!

This recipe has always been a favorite at our house. My husband was recently diagnosed are pre diabetic and has to watch carbs. Switched to 1c rice and 1c finely diced cauliflower that sautes with onion and green pepper. Also, 1/2 ground beef and 1/2 ground turkey and lost none of the flavor!

We so enjoyed this. I stuffed 6 large multi-colored peppers with 3/4 lb ground beef and 3/4 lb sweet Italian sausage. Instead of using water in the baking dish, I used a small can of San Marzano tomatoes, crushing them for a sauce served under the peppers. I was able to freeze leftovers and bake off later. Really enjoyable.
