Yum! My husband and I enjoyed this filling dish. I took the advice from Wayne and added a tablespoon of minced garlic to the mix. I had enough for about 5 1/2 peppers, so I just over stuffed mine. I was planning to eat 2 myself because they are lean, but could only stuff in about 1 1/3! My husband thought it needed spaghetti sauce, but also admits that is how he knows stuffed peppers. Therefore, we'll serve the leftovers with spaghetti later this week! -
My roommate, who is marrying a Bosnian, liked these peppers. I'm not used to boiling ground beef, but it worked. -
I found this easy and very tasty. Thank you Kristin. You might want to have a spare pepper on hand as I found the mix was enough for six.Perhaps a tidge of garlic would be in order but then i like garlic in everything

Hi chefs! I live in New York City, and am an aspiring actress, a dramatic literature and theater major the City Univesity of New York's BA program, a part time tutor for academic writing, wife to a European tennis coach, and also the mom to three rescued kitties. My all time favorite cookbooks are ones from the fifties and sixties from my grandma, and anything vegetarian. I do make some meaty dishes for my husband, he is an athlete after all and needs his strength and stamina!, but I mostly enjoy cooking savory vegetable dishes, soups, salads, and ethnic foods.
