Very, very nice! The spices in the meat mixture are just right and the tomato topping is excellent. Next time, however, I believe I will add about 1/3 cup of raw rice, as I found them to be a bit too "dense". The only thing I did different was NOT to blanche the peppers, and they turned out beautifully. I sprinkled the insides of the peppers with a bit of salt and turned them upside-down to drain. I plan on doing this recipe as a meatloaf with the tomato topping. Thank you, Andi, this is an excellent recipe. -
Very good recipe. I used the suggestion to substitute 1/3c raw rice for the breadcrumbs since we are eating gluten-free, but next time I think I will use cooked rice for the convenience. With the hamburger mixture left over, I molded it into a loaf and cooked it on the same sheet as the peppers. It turned out beautifully and now I have two meals. Thank you for posting. -
I've always made stuffed peppers without rice, and this recipe was a real treat. Flavorful, with a hint of spice, and a delicious sauce. We're watching sugars/carbs, so I left out the breadcrumbs and added a little more parmesan cheese. I also subbed Slenda for the brown sugar. Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe. -
Some of the best stuffed peppers I've ever made. The filling was delicious and the sauce was easy to whip up. Served it with rice and it was perfect! -

I used 1/2 ground beef 1/2 ground pork, also added 1 can of diced tomatoes . left out the egg, breadcrumbs parm cheese..no need for it. -
It was very good next time I will not boil the peppers they were to shoft for my liking I like a little bit of a cruch with my peppers. I used almond flour instead of the bread crums and I really liked it. I do think that I next time I will make it but use some wild rice.
