     This is very close to a recipe I've made for years and is one of our favorites. A couple of changes I have is I blanch the peppers in boiling water for 3 minutes before filling. I include 1/2 C water at the time I add the tomatoes and rice-cook 20 min till rice is tender;add 1/4 C cheese, then bake. - 3/29/11

     Loved it. Baked peppers for 10 min b4 stuffing, wraped in foil and baked for another 10-15 min. Saved the extra peppers and froze them for a quick reheat dinner. - 10/14/09

     The receipe is inconsistant, eg. is the ground beef lean? Is the rice cooked prior? It could be healthier using brown rice, turkey or lean ground beef even ground round. Provolone low fat would compliment this dish very nicely.
    Although I did enjoy it. - 10/2/09

    Thanks for the tips. I actually made this yesterday and hesitated at the rice myself. It seems everytime I make it, I do it a little different. Next time, I'm going to try your suggestions, thanks!!

     This is delicious! I added about 1/2 small jar of spaghetti sauce because 1 can of diced tomatoes wasn't enough to moisten it. I also chopped & sauteed mushrooms. - 10/11/11

     I have a recipe for stuffed bell peppers up too. I had a problem trying to figure out how to soften the peppers at first too. I usually boil them or put them in the steamer or a rice pot till they are soft. That way they can soften up while you prepare the other things. - 5/7/11

     I made this for supper tonight & my mom & I loved it. I added another can of tomatoes and a sm can of sauce, diced the peppers and made a casserole out of it, topping it with mozzarella cheese after 30 min, then baked for another 10 min. YUMMY!! - 1/28/11

     Some people add eggs to hold the meat together.Did you forget to add the eggs ,or don"t I need them for this recipe ? This sounds like a good recipe. - 8/16/10

    Sorry just saw this note!! No, I do not use eggs when I mix the meat.
