I love this recipe and have made it many times, especially when I need something that makes just 2 servings. When I tell my husband we are having stuffed green peppers he always hopes it's this recipe!

we use this recipe often for stuffed peppers. The only change we make is that we use bottled chili sauce in place of the spaghetti sauce. Frequently we double the recipe and freeze the other two for later.
