This was a good recipe. I used brown rice and I browned all of it in olive oil. I used apple-maple sausage and canned diced tomatoes. I added some minced garlic to the diced green peppers and onions. Next time I'll also add 1/2 tsp cumin and 1/4 tsp chili powder for some additional flavor. I didn't cook the peppers long enough (35 minutes), so they were a bit too crunchy and my husband didn't care for the ketchup/tomato topping. The filling was very good and I would consider serving it on its own minus whole green pepper. With a little tweaking, I will make this again. Made for PAC Spring 2010.
