Overall, I thought these stuffed peppers were pretty good. The filling was flavorful and the peppers were cooked well. However, I would have liked the filling to be a bit more moist.

These stuffed peppers were easy to make and turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use a different type of rice. I used long grain rice and it was a bit too dry.

The peppers were a bit too soft for my liking, but the filling was delicious.

These stuffed peppers were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

These stuffed peppers were easy to make and turned out great! I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still delicious.
