These were just right. The only change i made was to add some garlic. The cheese on top was just the crowning touch. I will for sure use this recipe again and again.I will also think of Dana each time i make it! -
These were very nice and we enjoyed them. The tomato sauce kept the stuffing moist. Will add some herbs next time and also some garlic like angelfan did. -
These were very good. I'd never done stuffed peppers before, but I'm so glad I tried this recipe! I liked it because it desn't include rice like most other pepper recipes do (my husband doesn't like rice). It was so easy and quick to make and tasty too! I'll be making this again. Thanks for posting! -
I'm rating this for the idea to pre-boil the peppers... it really cuts down the bake time and is really convenient. -
Delicious...I microwaved my peppers for 5 minutes to save time. I accidently forgot the cheese and sprinkled with grated Parm before serving and they were GREAT! My picky sister who doesn't like peppers ate the filling out of 2 of them (and then asked me for the recipe!) Thanks for a SIMPLE recipe!!

The only thing I did different was used onion powder instead of real onions (I know, not as sweet, but the DH don't like onions) Great taste! I love the flavor contrast of pepper against beef and tomato sauce. Had this with dinner and had one left over for lunch the next day and it was even better with time. I used mozzarrela cheese, but next time I'll go with mild cheddar (don't like terribly stringy cheese) Thanks for a keeper recipe!
