Delicious! I used mini sweet red/yellow/orange peppers and stuffed them whole. I mixed the parmesan into the filling. These make great appitizers when prepared with the small peppers. Read More

Next time I would mix the cheese in with the filling. These are very good and make a great side dish. Read More

I'm a huge recipe skimmer & didn't realize this was meatless.. I know duh.. until I started getting the ingredients together. I was looking for a recipe for grilled stuffed peppers. This recipe looked great & I did use most of the ingredients & mixed into ground beef and grilled. Unbelievably good! Also used a pablano & it was even better than the bell. Read More

This was okay but a little mushy in texture for my taste. I would probably add lots of cheese to the mixture if I made it again.:) Read More

I substituted hot salsa for the tomato. It was a bit too spicy next time I will use a medium salsa instead. Read More

There is plenty of stuffing here for three peppers so I used Stop & Go peppers--one each of red yellow & green. Each added a different flavor & the whole dish looked beautiful & colorful. This was a definite HIT! Next time I will add more cheese on top--maybe a slice instead of grated (& I am not a cheese fan so if I say add more be liberal!). Also my husband & I agreed that cooked popcorn shrimp mixed into the stuffing would turn this into a meal. We served with chicken & apple sausages (Emeril's). Delicious! A definite new rotation recipe. OH! And it's a good one for kiddos too. My preschooler agreed it was a yummerz. NICE. Read More

After reading the ingredients beforehand I knew that it would be too bland for my taste so I used Grissol Italien seasoned breadcrumbs which pepped it up a bit. I didn't bother peeling the tomato. I also mixed up the Parmesan into the stuffing as suggested by another reviewer and added more Parmesan on top. Read More

This was edible. I did add some hot salsa to my stuffing as well as the Parmesan cheese. I forgot to cook the peppers beforehand so I just kept them in there for an extra 15min. Read More

This was superb! I didn't peel the tomato and I added a little extra. I used homemade breadcrumbs and I also mixed the cheese in. I will definitely make this again soon. Read More
