Mother used to fix this wonderful, easy dish when we had company. She was from a family of fantastic Cajun cooks, so our food was always well-seasoned. In Louisiana, rice is part of many meals. The cheese sauce sets these stuffed peppers apart from any others I've tried. -Lisa Easley, Longview, Texas

Good for a cold day! Easy to make and the recipe cuts in half well. I added a diced jalapeno from the garden for some kick.

only change I made was to use "Spanish rice-a-roni" instead of plain white or brown rice. adds alot of flavor to mixture without adding anything else to stuff peppers

This is the only stuffed pepper I have ever made and it was fantastic! I have made it numerous times for friends and family. There is a lot of extra rice, so if I am making it for a carryin I just do a few more peppers. The rice mixture also makes great burritos! I think the cheese is necessary but just melted velveeta is good as well. Very good! Also reheats well.

I love LOVE stuffed peppers and am always looking for new recipes. This one was really good. I tasted the rice mixture before putting it all in the oven and could NOT wait to eat!!! haha It was delish! I found, however, that the amount of rice is way more than the beef, so if you like alot of meat in your peppers, then you should at least another 1/2 lb. I also added in a few of my own spices. YUMMY!!!!

I have made this a couple of times now. Haven't made the cheese sauce to go with it but it is great without it. I will have to try it with the cheese sauce on the side.

Came out very good! Everyone loved them. I used only 1 lb of the cheese and it seemed fine.
