MY HUSBAND likes stuffed peppers, but my old recipe made too much. I devised this recipe to accommodate just the two of us. It helps to use a small-size casserole so the peppers won't tip over while baking. For color, I serve steamed carrots with the peppers, rounding out the meal perfectly. —Elaine Carpenter Horseshoe Bay, Texas

My husband really liked these. I found it a bit hard to know when they were done. I had them in the oven for about 1 and a half hours and it still didn't look done even though I think it was.

I love these! Don't use to small of casserole dish though, because once the juices get to flow over they can easily over flow. YUMMY!!

I've made this recipe a few times. I usually use red peppers (I just think they taste better!) and it's pretty basic, I melt on the cheddar cheese for the boyfriend and he loves it. This recipe is SUPER SIMPLE! If you are an apprehensive or beginner cook like I am, this recipe will be easy-peasy for you :) Also, you can usually get 3 peppers out of it incase someone wants seconds!

I always use Garlic flavoured pasta sauce for this and drop a chunk of cheese in the bottom ( in addition to the cheese that is mixed in ) so the bottom is extra cheesy.
