This is a good vegetarian dish my mother introduced me to. Give it a shot! I find it to be delicious! I like to mix provolone with the mozzarella...good flavor.

It was pretty good, but it lacked a distinct flavor to make it a favorite.

    I have never had stuffed peppers before!! These are great. I love tofu and made the recipe exactly as stated. I used red bell peppers, but would like to try green bell peppers next time as I found the red pepper with the corn to be sweeter than I expected. Still yummy though!! I liked how there is a small amount of cheese in these, yet when it melts into the stuffing mixture it creates a dry "sauce", making all the ingredients stick together a little. When making the stuffing I had thought that there was way too much for 4 peppers, but because it is packed into the peppers I had the perfect amount. Thanks for a great recipe Cynna!!

    I made this the other night on a total whim, and was very pleased with the results. The instructions are clear and precise, which is always a plus. The recipe is open to a lot of variations (also a big plus!). I added cilantro, a minced jalapeno, extra garlic, and some adobo powder to the filling, then topped them with some salsa to bake. I think these would also be great with Asian or Italian flavors. The recipe's simplicity makes it a great jumping off point for experimentation, and I look forward to making it again. The filling also freezes well if you're flying solo and don't want to eat the same meal for 4 days. Thanks Cynna!
