Very yummy! I didn't change a thing and they came out really nice. I bought a rice mix that could be made in the microwave and used shredded cheese. They almost made themselves! :-)

Delicious and easy! My only change was to decrease the initial baking time for the peppers as we like them on the crispier side. It took about 10 minutes with the rice inside to get the whole thing nice & hot. A lovely side-dish wth any flavor rice, I would imagine! Thank you Barb.
