This recipe was really good and very easy to make. I added seasoning to my hamburger meat while I browned it. Also I cooked it it the oven longer than recomended and the rice wasn't quite done. I would recomend cooking the rice a little longer before stuffing it into the peppers. Overall it was really good and I will make them again.

This recipe was delicious and easy (I'm a beginner chef)!!! The only problem I had was that there wasn't enough sauce. They reminded me of my mom's cooking :)

This was a classic stuffed pepper recipe and I would make it again. Didn't have the Garlic & Herb Dressing, but substituted with dry Onion Soup Mix. Good and tasty, quick and easy using basic ingredients.

This is great with a can of diced tomatoes in addition to the tomato sauce. I love it! My family loved it!

My family loved it! I did use more hamburger and tomato sauce. If you don't have the herb/garlic seasoning try crushed red pepper, italian seasoning and garlic powder.

I used a meatloaf mix instead of plain ground beef and I used a flavored rice mix instead of plain white rice and it was awesome!

Needs more sauce, but a great recipe.

I used brown rice instead of white and did not use the seasoning packet. It had alot of flavor and my kids (though they did not eat the pepper part) loved the meat mixture. It is so easy and I love that you do not have to boil the peppers!
