I am doing weight watchers...I exchanged the ground beef for turkey..didn't add the rice...swapped cheddar cheese for low fat cheese and didn't use the broth... becouse I didn't have it...and topped it with sour cream..The original was 13 points... my version was 7 points. -
These were a nice change to the recipe I normally use for stuffed peppers. Pure comfort food here. The only changes I made were to use fresh garlic and dry mustard. Thank you for sharing your recipe! *reviewed for Spring 2007 Pick A Chef *

We loved these! And the filling really does taste like cheeseburgers! I used regular yellow mustard because that is what I had on hand and I skipped the broth as well--but instead dropped the halved peppers in boiling water for 5 minutes as I always do with stuffed peppers. Nice change from the traditional stuffed peppers!

Oh, but this is an excellent dish. I used beef that I had already browned with garlic salt, left out the onions as I don't eat those, used homemade marinara sauce instead of tomato paste, and I left out the mustard, which I don't eat either (can you tell I'm a picky eater?). I also left out the broth and just sprayed my baking pan with non-stick spray, as I like my peppers to still be firm when I eat them. I added some chili powder to the filling. A very satisfying meal. I actually just finished eating and enjoyed it so much I had to review it immediately. Thanks very much for the recipe. I think it would be a good filling for zucchini and tomatoes as well as the peppers.

Hello, I live in the River Valley in Northwest, AR. I have lived here my whole life. I would love to travel more, but I get so terribly motion sick it almost isn't worth it. If I could live anywhere in the U.S. it would be North Carolina. Outside the U.S. would be Australia. They have the greatest accents and seem like such friendly people. I am a stay at home mom. I have 2 wonderful and picky daughters age 10 and 8. They are the loves of my life and my reason for living. Oh yeah and I have a very hard working husband that fits in there too. I love to read. I could do it for hours every day. I consider myself to be a very strong Christian and am very active in our church. My pet peeves are people who refuse to listen or consider another persons point of view. I feel you should respect and be kind to everyone even if their beliefs are the opposite of yours. I do not feel I or anyone else has the right to judge anyone. I don't have to like you or your choices, but I do have to treat you right. My other pet peeve is carpet. yes, I said carpet. I can't stand the feel of it or the sound of people walking or scooting on it. It does to me what a person scraping a chalkboard does to you. For fun, my husband and I are huge nascar fans. If anything to do with it is on then I am watching it. We are a close private family, and are the most content when it is just the 4 or 2 of us.
