Feta Stuffed Peppers image

One of my favorite meals when I was younger was a recipe my mother made called Quick Chili Rice Casserole. I put a Greek spin on it and stuffed it in a pepper. It works great paired with a garden salad and fresh bread. -Sacha Morgan, Woodstock, Georgia

These peppers were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.
