Very yummy! It doesn't look too pretty, but the taste is fantastic. I used red bell peppers instead of green (what I had on hand) and that added nice color. I never would have thought to make bulgur this way, but am inspired to experiment now and try diferent one-pot dishes using it. Thanks! - 7/19/09

A new household favorite! This was our first experience with bulgur. I cut the sodium by using low-sodium chicken broth and salt-free cajun seasoning. I also increased the veggie quantity, and used tabasco sauce instead of the red pepper. This made 4 huge servings, and was a very filling dinner. - 5/11/09
