In the summer I love to serve these peppers with salad and a roll. At the end of summer, I freeze them for cold months when produce costs are high. For a hot meal on a cold day, I love to serve them with a side of warm pasta tossed in olive oil. Renee Hollobaugh, Altoona, Pennsylvania

Made these the other night & loved them. Work great as leftovers if you make extras. We had small peppers so we used 4 small peppers, a 14.5 oz can of stewed tomatoes & increased the rice to 1/2 cup. Also finished the peppers off in the oven. Excellent

I made them in the oven instead of the microwave and they were still delicious. I baked at 400 for 30 minutes. Fantastic recipe!!

Looks fantastic! Anyone have any advice on how to make it in the oven instead of microwave?

I have made this many times. My husband insists on meat with his meals and so I slice a cooked chicken/apple sausage link into rounds and tuck them into the filled peppers. Totally delicious!

Unless you are needing to count grams of carb for a meal serve this with a side of pasta if you wish.I would probably favor some fruit plus salad to serve with it.Yes, the combo of beans and corn provide a complete protein for your digestive system.

Yes would make again. Husband is meat eater so he had a couple of chicken sausages too. Had small salad of fresh tomatoes cucumber, onions and bell peppers marinated in raseberry vinaigrette.

Plan on trying this tonight since the heat index here is over 100 degrees and this is a totally microwave dish. I don't have any stewed tomatoes on hand so I'll just use some flavored canned ones. I personally don't think there's anything wrong with serving this with pasta and understand some people may have a problem with it. Just rate the recipe on its own merit and serve it however you like.

people who are non-vegans may not know that the combo of beans and rice yields a complete protein equal to meat. Sometimes just knowing this adds to satisfaction with the food.

And again we have the Food Police criticizing someone's choices. Give it a rest already!

Iagree with reviewer "kedi". I wouldn't serve a pasta alongside a dish containing rice.

would not serve with side of pasta as peppers already contain a starch--rice; a tossed salad would be better.

I am a meat eater, but my YouTube viewing community continued to ask me to make a vegetarian dish. This recipe came in the mail and I had to try it. I LOVED IT. Will definitely make it again and again, possibly adding chicken breast strips

My father is a meat and potatoes kind of guy. I made this and figured there was not any chance he would eat this. He ate it and loved it. And actually has requested this again. :) Thanks Jess
