Yummie even though because of divertulitis we changed the red pepper to red bell pepper and omitted the crushed red pepper flakes! This a winner and we plan to sprinkle on some ground cinnamon next time like we used to do in the Tropics! - 5/17/09

I left out the pepper flakes. Don�t enjoy the consequences! Deal with GERD! Was very good I thought. - 5/5/21

This was pretty good and very easy to make, though the bell pepper taste was a little overpowering. I doubled the crushed red peppers because my bf and I like a little kick. This would make a great side to enchiladas. - 6/22/09

I added chicken and only 4 ounces of tomato sauce and it was so nice and chunky! I loved it! - 7/1/08

The melted cheese on top really made this mouth-watering! To save time, I substituted bulgur for rice, canned crushed tomatoes for tomato sauce, and jar red peppers for fresh red pepper. Yum!! - 5/11/08
