Absolutely wonderful stuffed peppers. I will never make them any other way again. I used an Italian Blend shredded cheese to top them and they were great. One word of caution, and this was entirely MY fault. Follow step 4 and don't have your mixture too thick. I didn't thin the mixture like I should have and the filling was a little denser than they should have been. BUT!, the peppers were still delicious. Thank you Richard for sharing such a great recipe.

Ummm, these stuffed peppers sure were good, Richard. I loved that they are meatless. I followed your directions and would not change anything about this recipe. Made a wonderful family meal. The marinara and cheese topping were a great idea. Thanks for the recipe.

Very good recipe. To my fault, I did not have any flavored breadcrumbs, so tried try flavor my own with some Italian spice mix and salt. I even tasted it that it was ok, but obviously was not enough, because the filling was one big tasteless lump. I should have added more water to it, as well. But I love the idea and the whole consept is so nice, that I will try to correct my mistakes, next time.

I made these last night for tonight's supper, and doubled the recipe. I just had to have a taste, first, and I am so glad that I did. These are truly delicious! I didn't have any flavored breadcrumbs, so I flavored my own with some oregano, za'atar and Hungarian paprika. I had shredded mozzarella which I mixed with the sauce before spooning it over the almost-ready peppers. I can hardly wait for supper tonight! Yo, Richard, these are great!

We loved these! really simple recipe that makes such a wonderful dish. certainly better than the traditional burger/rice stuffed peppers i usually make. the flavors blended wonderfully, and topping them with the mozzarella slices (although i used provolone) added even more flavor. perfect for a family meal or to impress guests. thanks richard for a definate keeper.
