With the refreshing vegetables and zippy beef and beans, these stuffed peppers stand out from any others. This tasty dish is so easy to make, I serve it often during summer and fall...much to my family's delight.—Nancy McDonald, Burns, Wyoming

They're great!! I used extra lean ground beef, reduced sodium taco seasoning, homemade salsa, and low fat or fat free sour cream... they're so tasty.. this is a keeper in this house! Thanks!

My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe. The only thing I did differently was to use some cream colored peppers that we grew in the garden this year instead of the green peppers. Will be sure to make them again!

This was really good! Even the older children tried it! I think I might tweak it by adding some bacon or bacon bits to it next time. Yum!

We tried this last night and the whole family agreed it was a keeper. Boiling the bell peppers before baking made them perfectly well done. Loved it!

I thing these are great. The only thing I changed was the fresh cilantro instead of the coriander. Of couse I added a chile sauce on the side and fresh warm corn tortillas. I agree, if you don't like it move on!!

This recipe is delicious. I make my own taco seasoning with a recipe that came from Alton Brown, it's called Taco Potion #19:

* 2 tablespoons chili powder

* 1 tablespoon ground cumin

* 2 teaspoons cornstarch

* 2 teaspoons kosher salt

* 1 1/2 teaspoons hot smoked paprika

* 1 teaspoon ground coriander

* 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

I know it looks like a lot of ingredients, but most likely many are already in your spice cabinet. I make a double or triple batch and keep the rest in an airtight container for next time. (1 recipe is enough for 1 lb. of meat.) Hope this helps :-)

YA KNOW WHAT?????? IF YOU CAN'T LOOK AT A RECIPE AND WRITE SOME THING POSITIVE THEN WHY WRITE WE CAN ALL READ AND MOST OF US KNOW WHAT IS HEALTHY AND WHAT IS NOT AND DON'T NEED TO BE REMINDED. IF YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT YOU SEE THEN MOVE ON AND DON'T MAKE IT BUT DON'T PUT DOWN OTHERS WHO DO.

1354mg SODIUM. ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?

Connor you obviously haven't tried this and have no intention to because you cant find packaged crap with lower sodium levels. Recipes are guides and you can actually COOK some ingredients to suit your needs. Some do and some use packaged. No reason to denigrate either. Until you either try the recipe as stated or submit a tried alternative. you have no right to complain
