  1. This was very good! I changed it a little by using brown rice (that's all I had) and I just threw the green pepper pieces, onion, and parsley in with the rice as it cooked...I also added some corn and red pepper flakes to this rice mixture. After it was done cooking, I didn't want to open a whole can of tomato sauce (I was only making 1 pepper) so I used ketchup instead. Before I baked it, I wiped some extra virgin olice oil on the outside of the pepper. Then I continued to make the recipe like normal and it was VERY good!! Thank you for posting!
     
  2. We used hot italian sausage instead of beef....very good!
     
  3. My husband and I thought it was good, but our kids (15 & 19) not so much!
     
  4. num...yum...yummmm Oh wait, I'm babbling.
     
  5. Yum-my! Excellent as a casserole (I find that much pepper is too hard to digest). Also super good with chicken instead of ground beef! Such an easy and filling dinner. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I'm addicted to recipezaar - there are so many things that I love about this site; the wonderful people, recipes, lots of great pictures and there's always someone who'll answer my cooking/baking/general question. I grew up in Malaysia, but now live in sunny Singapore. Both are beautiful tropical (read: HOT!) countries in Southeast Asia. There are so many good food here, especially ethnic stuff like spicy Malaysian curries (which will clear the worst blocked nose), flaky & crispy Indian roti paratha/canai, homey Chinese stir-fries, rich & decadent Asian desserts like kuih lapis (Malay many-layers cake), pineapple tarts, crumbly peanut cookies etc. <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v632/zaarfreak/REI/12may05REI2_S.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com">
