I need to try this one again. I didn't use the Good Seasons dressing because I couldn't find it in the store. Maybe I'll try a different brand. Also, I used ground pork instead of beef and it didn't turn out that well. We liked it enough to eat the leftovers, but it's gotta be much better with beef and the correct seasoning.

My husband loved it. The only thing I would change is to cook the rice first, and then mix it in with the meat.

My husband loved it. It was the first time I ever made stuffed peppers. His only suggestion was to cook it a little longer since he prefers the pepper a little more tender...AWESOME!!!

This recipe was great! My husband is a fairly picky eater, and he even liked it- A LOT! I made them with ground turkey instead of ground beef, and I added mozzerella cheese to the recipe. They were great, and I will definitely be making them again. Even my toddler loved the filling!
