"What a tasty way to get your vitamins B & C and antioxidants! I love the fact that you don't have to precook the rice. This can be prepared ahead and just popped in the oven on a busy night. Found in a circular from Publix grocery store."

Very good peppers. We used ground turkey and tomato juice. I think they could have coked a little bit longer or next time I may partially cook the rice. The flavor was very nice.
