Made as directed, other than the addition of salt and pepper. Adjusted for two servings. Loved having the extra meatballs also. Made for PAC2009

Good basic stuffed bell pepper recipe. Glad to see you use a lot of sauce! I dislike it intensely when they are dry! Wouldn't mind serving this anytime. Thnx for posting, Chef Wayne. Made for Fall 2008 PAC.

Delicious! I made as directed. The next time I will try simmering the meat for a very short time, drain the fat and cool before adding the remaining ingredients. This is nice change and the meatballs are great for lunch, almost like our porcupine ball recipe. Thank you
