A terrific recipe that's been saved to my 'microwave' recipe file! I had leftover stuffing, so I'll probably alter the recipe in future for 6 peppers instead of the 4 peppers the recipe calls for...I also like a little more rice in my stuffed peppers, so I'll probably up the amount for future use...I will also 'nuke' the peppers a little less longer in future, as my micro is 1000W and they ended up cooked a little too much...I highly recommend this recipe for those who'd like stuffed peppers, but don't have the time! Thank you for posting this recipe!
