Stuffed Bell Peppers

This was one delicious meal! I did modify the recipe a bit. Because i didn't have rice-a-roni, I subbed Quick Spanish Rice instead. And when cooking the ground beef, I seasoned with Taco Seasoning Mix. The filling for the pepper was so delicious, I was eating it straight before I even got it into the peppers! This is a great dish-- thanks for posting it.

Great....everyone in the family liked this and it was simple to make. The only thing I changed was using seasoned diced tomatoes and it worked out great.

This recipe was delicious! I never thought to use flavored Rice-A-Roni. I also bought flavored diced tomatoes and didn't have to do any cutting like it stated in the directions for making the rice. I used 6 green peppers and cut them lengthwise. There was filling leftover but I froze it. This was really good!

Very good! There is enough filling for about 9 large peppers. Next time I am going to add diced green pepper with the onion to the filling as we like more green pepper taste. Hotgrandma

Delicious! I prepared this as directed up to the cooking step. My plans were to freeze these, which I did. I separated them into small freezer containers, pressing plastic wrap down on them to prevent crystals and freezer burn. Last night, I took one out for supper, put the peppers into an small casserole, still frozen and into a 350 oven. Baked them about 40 minutes, my peppers were really small, so larger ones will take longer. It was absolutely scrumptious and such an easy meal! Good old comfort food. Definitely a keeper! Thanks Theresa P Wanted to add that I have prepared this recipe using the unstuffed method, slicing the peppers and spooning everything else over them, freezing small serving portions and when ready, popping a serving into a casserole dish and baking them frozen. Works beautifully!

My family is not crazy about bell peppers, but we decided to try out this recipe. The peppers were wonderful! The only thing I did different was use Knorr Spanish Rice instead of Rice-A Roni (Our grocery store was out) and I used a can of diced tomatoes. My 13 year-old ate two in one night and wanted more the next day. Very easy, very good!

I made it without the cheese and used sweet 'n' low in place of the sugar. It was very moist and delicious.

Awesome!! I used Luzianne Cajun "Dirty" rice (only thing I had on hand). Made it without the cayenne so my kids would eat it. A few time saving ideas I used to make this meal in 30 minutes exactly: I mixed 1 can of diced tomatoes with 1 can of tomato sauce and sugar. Put that in the bottom of 8x8 AND 9x11 glass baking dishes (needed the space for 12 halves of peppers) and let it "bake" alone while I prepared rice and meat as directed. While that was cooking on stovetop, I grilled my halved peppers to char and soften them a little bit. Threw everything together when the rice was done and popped it on top of sauce in the oven, topped with a tiny bit of mozzarella and baked till melted. Started the dish at 1:30pm, we were eating by 2:05pm (before hubby had to work) and it tasted amazing. Can't wait to try it the real way and let everything bake in the oven as is, but man was this yummy.

I made these last night, and realized that this was the best stuffed bell peppers I've ever had. Very excited to have this recipe! Danke, Theresa!

OMG... Made a few small changes...

Used 1/2 white onion (note whole), used about 1/2 of the rice mixture, and used ground turkey (healthy!).

Key ingredient: CUMIN!!!!!

Add about a tablespoon of cumin to the turkey/onion mixture when you're cooking. Then add the rice (I used rice-a-roni; if you use zataran's, it probably already contains some cumin...) mixture and proceed as directed. AMAZING!!!! The cumin adds some smokiness and little something extra. TRY IT!!!!!

Excellent! We used a different spanish rice mix than rice-a-roni, but other than that did not change a thing. We also halved our peppers before parboiling like another review suggested. This was great!! We also added a little sour cream after baking, which was very yummy!

My DH and I really enjoyed these! Our neighbor gave us 2 HUGE bags of bell peppers from his garden and this was a great way to use a portion of them. We really enjoyed the filling - not too tomatoey. I used ground venison instead of the beef since I had some that neede to be used. Thanks for posting!

Like another review, I HATE stuffed peppers!! Until now, that is. This recipe is soooo good - I am now a fan. I used Zatarains spanish rice (about 2/3 of the amount mixed with beef mixture). I did cut peppers in half lengthwise before parboiling - makes for a nice presentation I think. Kudos on this recipe - thanks for sharing!!

Easy and the whole family loves this recipe. I've made a couple times now and followed the recipe but tonight I mixed the beef/rice mixture with 1 cup of cheese and 1/2 cup of Newman's Own medium salsa, plus still added the 1 cup of cheese on top towards the end. Thanks for sharing!

Great taste, easy to prepare. I used already cooked ground beef from the freezer, and omitted the onion. I used four large peppers, cut lengthwise, and had plenty of filling for the eight halves. We had half tonight, and the other half went in the freezer. Next time, I may spoon the sauce on top instead of around the peppers. Thanks for posting.

Theresa, these stuffed peppers were the best!!! I used beef Rice-A-Roni, since that's what I had in my cupboard...and everyone loved them. Thanks! Alan

I made these after my father n law's eye surgery (he requested!). I really loved how you surround the peppers with sauce, but not on top. Of course, when serving I immed. spooned the sauce on top, but liked it that way (the sauce stays separate, without soaking in). Thanks Theresa, for posting this classic. Roxygirl

My family enjoyed these peppers. Using the boxed rice does make the process easier. I had planned on adding 8 ounces of fresh mushrooms but they had went bad in the refrigerator, that's what I get for not checking the package more carefully. I bet next time they will make a great addition. We used mozzarella cheese to top our peppers. Since there are only three of us, we got an extra meal. It was great heated up, too. Thanks for the recipe!

Easy, delicious and satisfying. I used Zatarains and topped with some of the sauce and mozzarella. Thank you Theresa P.!!!
