100% would make again

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

Hubby & I made this recipe last night, but instead of green peppers, we used sweet red peppers, cut in half (we doubled the stuffing portion of the recipe). It was FABULOUS! The stuffing was nice and moist and the flavor with the red peppers was very good. A definite DO OVER at our house!
