    This is YUMMY! Since we are sticking to Dr. Esselstyn's vegan plan, I omitted the cheese and oil. I sauteed in some of the tomato juice instead. Be sure to use big peppers as this makes a generous amount of filling. Instead of steaming, I parboil the peppers for four minutes. - 5/31/09

    I made this tonight, with the only exception is that I used canned mushrooms becuase I did not have fresh. I thought it was very good - and it does make a lot of filling. But, if you aren't too crazy about peppers, the filling is just AWESOME and can be eaten by itself. Very filling! - 9/11/10

    I really enjoyed it, but it was not a big hit with the 5 year old (who are picky from time to time) - 2/5/08
