"This is a really good and easy alternative to traditional stuffed peppers. The addition of stuffing is good although you can make it without. I got this recipe from the Campbell's web site."

I made this for the first time tonight for my family and some guest and everyone loved it! All the adults had seconds and the kids even ate all of theirs! I made this and it fed 4 adults and 4 kids. I did use two cans of tomatoes as well. Next time I will dice up the bell peppers so the kids will eat them a bit better. VERY good casserole!

This was good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written other then I took others recommendations and used 2 cans of tomatoes instead of one. I also used crushed tomatoes instead of whole tomatoes. This was easy to put together with ingredients I normally have on hand.

I did use 2 cans of the tomatoes and it turned out great, my family devoured this dish and want me to make it again.

Wonderful casserole! I did read where one reviewer said it was a little dry so I added the green peppers to the bottom of the baking dish, poured half the hamburger mixture next, than a layer of bread crumbs and repeated again. Baked for 25 minutes covered and than baked an additional 20 minutes uncovered. Before serving I slowly mixed together the casserole and it was very good. I did use two cans of diced tomatoes, undrained and a can of yellow and white corn. So much easier to make this lighter version of stuffed peppers. Served with MarraMamba's Recipe #245980,so good!
