Great! I used a little less Italian seasoning but, kept everything else the same.

It is now a celebrity in our home! Even my grand daughter said, “please let me know when you cook this again so I can come eat with you”!
We loved it! 5 star hotel meal!
Thanks!

We quite enjoyed this recipe. Very simple to put together and delicious. I used a dutch oven instead of pan amd tin foil and ot came out great. Will definitely make this again!

it was average. peppers definitely need to be cooked longer than 45 minutes..they were still crunchy. put them in the oven for an additional 25 minutes and they were soft but the tomato sauce at the bottom began to burn.

It turned out really good. I added some harissa sauce to the marinara sauce for a little added spice. I’ll make it again but I will add some salt and pepper to the inside of the bell peppers.

I made this a couple of times and we love it. I have tweaked it a little, instead of plain tomato sauce I use the marinara sauce and I put it with the meat filling instead of pouring it in the baking dish.

It was really good. I will be making it again. I used spaghetti sauce instead of tomato sauce and less than the recipe called for.

Kinda bland. Would put pasta sauce in pepper too. Filling needed more flavor to it

Stuffed peppers are classic comfort food, and this recipe is a good one. We substituted leftover marinara sauce for the tomato sauce and it was a tasty choice. Will definitely make again!
