These turned out very well, and they're quick and easy to make. The seasoning was just right. I'll definitely make them again. I made this dish for my finicky, meat-n-potato-loving, convalescent granny, and she gobbled it up. She said the peppers needed some cheese, though. For seasoning, I used Durkee Grill Creations Italian Herb marinade mix. I wanted to freeze some of the filling, since it made way too much, so I made it with just the beef, rice, and seasonings. I froze half, then stirred some sauce into the rest and stuffed the peppers. To use the frozen filling, I thawed it out, microwaved it, stirred in more tomato sauce, and stuffed more peppers. It turned out just as good as the first batch.

I made the baked version of this the other night and it turned out awesome! For more Italian flavor I added a few links of well drained sweet Italian sausage to the mix as well as some Penzeys Tuscan Sunset seasoning. I had to substitute some crused tomatoes for tomato sauce since I only had 3 8 oz cans and it worked out great! Like some of the others I melted slices of pepper jack cheese on a few and provolone on the others and it browned really pretty and tasted great! Thank you so much for the recipe and I will be making this again - maybe next time with red bell peppers instead of green!
