  1. Tried this last night and my husband, who doesn't really like sausage, had 3!! Really loved adding my fresh basil to this, and the cheese was a great touch. I did drain my sausage before I added the garlic. I also did not have minute rice, so I waited till I had cooked the liquids down and then stirred in cooked rice. Keeping this one!
     
  2. This was a great recipe for stuffed peppers! I haven't made stuffed peppers in quiet awhile and the whole family really enjoyed them. Made just as posted! Made for PAC Fall 08'. Thanks for posting
     
  3. The mozzarella cheese really makes this a fantastic stuffed pepper. There is enough meat/rice mixture to make 6 stuffed peppers. I only added 1 teaspoon of hot sauce. The basil was my first harvest from my new AeroGarden. I misunderstood and use cooked rice. So with stock and tomatoes in the pan, I thought there was going to be to much liquid so I added 2 handfuls of Minute Rice. I now know Austin was talking about a Minute Rice type of 'pre' cooked rice. I forgot to add the mozzarella cheese, so I added it after it was baked. I just parted the rice mixture in the center of the pepper and stuck a big slice to it. Then into the microwave for 1 minute. Great pepper, I'll be making this again. Made for *My Three Chefs* 2008 my Theme: *Stuffed Peppers*

  1. So delicious! I used a mix of cubanelle & poblano peppers. I also substituted the crushed tomatoes for a can of fire roasted diced tomatoes. It definitely added some extra flavor. Topped with fresh grated Locatelli cheese. Next time I will try roasting peppers on open flame of gas stove and then bake everything. Seriously Yum!

I am an ugly Scandinavian kid, hence the fact there is no picture, lol. I enjoy kung-fu, drawing, playing guitar and piano, and creating recipes. I haven't tried any of them but 99% of the time they turn out great, so don't be hesitant! Lol. I'm planning on getting my GED (because school stinks) when I'm 15 and become a designer of cell phones. (Sr. Java Developer to be more specific), and maybe open a few restaurants here and there. So yeah.
