Added 1 TBS of Cholula otherwise followed recipe. Very good. My wife and kids enjoyed them. This recipe will be in the rotation from now on.

Didn't think I would enjoy this recipe as much as I did! :) I am used to making stuffed peppers with lots of tomato sauce!!! This turned out so tasty!! Used basmati rice and ground beef. Thanks Lorac!

Yum! I used very lean ground beef, double the garlic, basmati rice and Uni Kaas Robusto cheese (straight from God himself). ;o) The peppers were slightly too firm at 40 minutes, so I let them cook an additional 10, at which point they were perfect. The flavors are mild, so if you like more heat, put somem evil cayenne in there. (I'm afraid of it!) What a lovely recipe, thank you, Lorac!
