I have used this recipe quite often, the only things I do different is cook my meat with minced garlic, and use Italian Style tomato sauce ( it gives it a little more zip). I also add a cup of shredded cheddar to the mix and top it with cheddar.

This recipe is delicious. The only I do different is add some shredded cheese on the top after I take them out of the oven.

I am not a fan of cooked peppers, but my husband asked so what could I do! I loved the inside and so did my picky kids!

These were really easy to make and they were tasty and filling. The only thing I would do the next time that I make them would be to add some additional seasonings to bring out more flavor because it was a little bland. I was surprised because I thought that the envelope of dressing mix would give it some kick, but in my opinion it needs a little something extra added.
