The addition of sour cream to the sauce at the end is a wonderful addition. This recipe is from my German grandma's recipe box. We have always wondered where she got it. No name or date on the recipe. Just a great big! and a YUM.

The peppers were a bit too oily. I would drain the ground beef more thoroughly next time.

The filling was a bit too dry. I would add more liquid next time.

These peppers were a bit too spicy for my taste, but they were still very good. I will definitely be making them again, but I will use less chili powder next time.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a winner. The peppers are always tender and the filling is flavorful. I like to add a little bit of shredded cheese to the top before baking.

The recipe was easy to follow and the peppers turned out great. I substituted ground turkey for the beef and it was still delicious.
