Very easy and very tasty. Good with turkey sausage instead of ground beef, also.

it was good. But it seemed to be missing something.

This is a fabulous way to get all of the flavor of stuffed peppers without all of the time and effort. I like to use leftover rice and reduce the liquid and cooking time for an even faster result.

Definately a Keeper! First time around found it to be a bit bland - Added some Steak Seasoning & fresh garlic to veggie's - mmmmm

This one somehow finds itself repeating itself in our household too :)

My wife and I liked this recipe very much, we put in our favorites list. I did the directions a little different. After the ground beef was about half cooked I added the vegetables and spices. When the meat was cooked and veggies tender I added the remaining ingredients. It turned out great. I didn't see any reason to remove the meat and then put it back in.
