We love this recipe. I have made it several times. I add 1/2 lb. browned ground beef to the mixture, but do everything else by the recipe. GREAT!

I tried this again and used parboiled rice (because I couldn't find the exact kind of rice called for in the recipe).  It worked perfectly!  Cooking time was only 2.5 hours but that may be because my crock pot runs hot.  Excellent dish that we will make many times in the future!

Just a note if you are watching nutrition. I don't think the nutrition facts on this are correct. The only change I made is using quinoa in place of rice. My fat is 3.8 grams. No clue where 10 comes from when there is no meat in the recipe. Also, calories were almost 100 less.

Excellent flavor and SO easy. I used quinoa (same amt) in place of rice. I also cooked mine on high for 2 hours and low for one because I was short on time and wanted to be sure they were cooked. Used 1c of salsa.

My daughter is a vegetarian the guys are not so I browned 5 chicken breast for on the side & simmered them in two jars of salsa after preparing peppers I used the salsa from chicken with tomato sauce & cooked peppers in it & garlic mashed potatoes on side, the remaining salsa on side to put on top of potatoes, They loved this dish & want again! Peppers were the best we had!

I added more cumin and chili powder than the recipe called for, because it seemed like it would be a little bland. Next time, I will add more salsa as well. It was a pretty good recipe...my husband and son liked it more than I did, so I will make it again. I will add shredded chicken next time. Also, I took the advice of another review and added a little chicken broth..otherwise it would have been too dry,

Super simple great recipe! I added a pound of ground turkey and therefore increased the salsa so the rice would have more liquid to cook better. This doubled the amount of stuffing. I was also in a time crunch and cooked on high for 2 hours. Could have maybe used 15 more minutes but they still tasted amazing! Will definitely make again!

Very good recipe! My rice did not cook, but I think that is because I cooked it for 3 (instead of 3.5 or 4) hours and used white rice. Just take heed that you may need more like 4 hours on this one. :-)

This is now my new favorite stuffed pepper recipe! Quick and easy to make, tasty and nutritious. I also added a little quinoa and picante sauce.
