No one will even miss the meat in this hearty, cheesy vegetarian meal. Brown rice helps make the tender peppers surprisingly filling, and the seasonings add lots of flavor. It makes especially nice weeknight family fare! -Lisa DeMarsh, Mt. Solon, Virginia

The stuffed peppers were good, but they were a little too spicy for me. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.

These stuffed peppers were a little bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time.
