Yummy! I used ground beef, added two cloves of garlic (you gotta have garlic! ;-) and skimped slightly on the cheese - so, so good! Would bake a little less than an hour the next time though, as I'd prefer it if the bell peppers still had a bit of bite to them - just a personal preference! What a great recipe, thank you for sharing!
