Thank you for the simple new way to stuff peppers!

I added some ground beef and used fresh mashed potatoes.

I prefer my peppers raw for this recipe and I used real potatoes baked in the oven. I added milk and sour cream to make them creamy and fluffy. Still VERY VERY good. I will be keeping this recipe!

Why must you be SO RUDE in all of your reviews? If you don't like the recipe please find a tactful well to express it without being rude and hurtful!

I like the twist of using mashed potatoes - but I'll make mine from scratch!!! I think I'll try using Herb & Garlic Philly cream cheese or the new Dill or even Sundried Tomato & Basil in place of the packaged ranch dressing and cheddar cheese. I might even try ranch dressing and cheddar. Now that the seed has been planted I can think of a number of variation! I'm thinking these would be good for a buffet/family reunion and kept warm on one of my heated serving trays... I was brought up making mashed potatoes with warm milk and butter but everyone has liked when I add creamed cheese instead for a switch.

Frozen mashed potatoes. You gotta be kidding. What could be worse than that? Try using real mashed potatoes and you'll see a huge difference

This was really good and very easy to make even though I made homemade mashed potatoes.

I absolutely love this idea. So easy. I'm sure you could also use homemade mashed potatoes. I usually par-boil my peppers, but the microwave will work. Thanks for the great idea.
