    I really enjoyed this recipe, with 2 modifications. Instead of plain brown rice I used one of the prepackaged Uncle Ben's ones, with the same calorie count. I also added one oz of goat feta cheese into the mixture before baking. My daughter loved it too! - 1/5/10

    I've had stuffed peppers that I loved before, but this recipe didn't work for my family. We all threw ours away after a few bites. - 4/28/08
