"I love green peppers but my husband does not, so I created this dish one night when he wasn't home. It includes all my favorite things," writes Jennifer Tarr of Baltimore, Maryland. "When the two of us are here, I leave out the peppers and add the veggies my husband prefers."

"I wanted a side dish to accompany a simple, crumb-topped baked fish...and I was out of rice. I made this, and it is very good! It makes quite a lot, but is better the second day."

"I have made this many times, with one change. I broil or grill the peppers instead of saute them. This is awesome with grilled meats."
