    Everytime I make this I always feel completely satisfied. Today I didn't boil the peppers, covered with foiled and baked for 40 minutes. The longer baking allowed for juices to really come through. - 5/31/12

    It's in the toaster oven right now, finishing up - I tasted the mixture, though and it's YUM - substituted quick cooking brown rice from Trader Joe's and it worked out great. Also used soy sauce instead of Worcestershire and it doesn't seem to have messed anything up. Thanks!! - 3/13/12
