     Delish! I didn't boil them either, used hunts spag sauce (garlic and herb) instead of tomato sauce, and used 2 onions instead of just 2 T. Also added a few garlic cloves. - 2/13/09

     this is great! I took out the rice, added in some veggies like mushrooms and zucchini and put in a little chili powder to make it spicy....they turned out great!! - 11/16/08

     I eliminated the salt, used brown rice and leftover taco meat. Halved the peppers and stuffed open face. Really fills up the plate. Didn't boil either. A little shredded low fat cheddar adds nice color. - 3/14/09

     I've made these for years! I do not pre cook the peppers either, I reduce the heat and cook a few minutes longer. - 8/8/09

     What a coincidence . . . I just cooked my own version of stuff peppers yesterday, only with veggies instead of meat. I used broccolli, onions, carrots, and grated cabbage, and I sprinkled mozzarella cheese on top. It was delicious. - 6/29/09

     I love these, thanks so much, they are in the oven right now! I too use brown rice and no boiling. I just heat them in the oven for a little while, I love them crunchy. I also add a little non-fat or low fat mozerella on the top. - 2/1/09

     I make this dish a lot. I don't cook the green peppers though. I like a little crunch! I use ground beef and rinse it after it is cooked to remove the fat. - 12/20/08

     This was pretty good, but the pepper came out mushy and completely fell apart the first time. The next time, I skipped the boiling step and it came out just right. The "stuffing" is pretty good but a little lacking in flavor, so you may want to play with the spices a bit to get it just right. - 11/6/08
  • THENEWME4EVER
     This was absolutely wonderful!!! I made it with ground turkey and didn't parboil the peppers. I also added some oregano and minced garlic. This is definately a keeper and will be making this on a regular basis. - 4/21/09

     Very simple to make...I put peppers in microwave instead for 10 min's (in dish with water) and I used fresh garlic instead of garlic salt...delish! My husband who is the world's pickiest eater enjoyed them as well! - 4/4/09
  • MISHKA_1972
     These were really good! I used cut up veggie burgers instead of beef. It cut down the calories a lot. I also did not steam the peppers ~ I like the extra cruch. Will make again! - 4/3/09
  • MISTYJEAN10
     These were really good. I skipped the boiling part (just make sure that the sides of each peper are not touching each other or they won't cook) and used ground beef instead of turkey (because it is all I had). My hubby said the recipe is a keeper. Thanks! - 11/21/08
  • ANGELGAL01
     Not exactly the way I've traditionally made these (usually add egg or egg white to uncooked meat and rice... stuff the peppers and top w/sauce) but I like this version (also minus the boiling). Thank you for sharing! - 1/7/09

     Imake stuffed pepper soften, you can omit the boiling time and just bake them accordingly. They will be soft yet not fall apart. - 11/13/08

     My family enjoyed this recipe! - 6/25/09
  • EEYOREMN
     Very YUMMY! I used a mixture of brown and wild rice with fresh minced garlic. Also added a little bit of fresh corn kernels. My family loved it and were fighting over who gets to take the leftovers to work. :-) - 5/1/09
  • PROUD2BME!
     YUMMY!!! I didn't pre boil and used a mix of white and brown rice. - 3/31/09
  • SPYDER70
     Delicious! I made it with brown rice, though, and did not boil the peppers. They cooked very well with just the baking. Very simple to make! Will try with Red and Yellow and Green peppers next time. - 1/18/09
  • 2BSCOOBIE
     This was very good and I will make it again. I also did not boil the peppers and put Malinda's hot sause on it as it needed a little zing. Yummy though! - 1/14/09
  • ETTEZEUS
     I enjoyed this version with the turkey. I substituted the white rice and used brown. Once the meat was browned, I mixed the rest of the ingrediants and didn't reheat them. I didn't boil the peppers much and they weren't that mushy but next time I will delete the boiling part. Overall, very tasty. - 11/17/08
  • JES712
     Delicious! I added a lot of minced garlic to it too. - 11/11/08
  • SUGARPUNK52
     Great taste! Just a few ingredients.Next time I'm going to try it with a cream sauce instead of the tomato. - 11/7/08
