This is an excellent recipe. I put a can of tomato soup in the casserole before the peppers and simply cut them in half and fill them that way. I don't blanch them either they just stay in the oven a bit longer. I use the wonderful salsa recipe #9272. My wife has never eaten stuffed peppers but she eats these. Can also top with black olives.
