These peppers are goooooood! I have always made a meatless stuffed pepper recipe and was sceptical about the amount of meat...ground turkey in my case. It went together very, very easily, which I loved. I used my own combination of chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper and some roasted tomato salsa; it was just perfect. Adding cheese was a final wonderful touch and I just put the cheese on the top for the final 10 minutes so that it was all melted when the peppers were done. This one goes in my cookbook to stay CountryLady...thanks.

I'm raving again. Hubby was raised on his mother's so called "best stuff peppers" but even he agreed that this recipe was great. He scarfed up a bunch for dinner the first night and warmed a few more the next night when I couldn't be home to cook. Great recipe, easy to make. It's a keeper for me. Didn't change one thing.

DELICIOUS!!!! These peppers are so good and I don't really even like peppers lol The flavors of the meat and rice definitely blend well with the pepper, which was my problem with the "old" stuffed pepper recipe, it always seemed like the meat mixture was bland and the taste of pepper completely overpowered it but not this one!! The only things we did differently was to use brown rice, homemade canned tomatoes and sf salsa and boy was it good

CL, these were probably THE best stuffed peppers I have had in a long time! I used spicy salsa (DH loves everything spicy!) and half green and half red bell peppers, added fresh garlic to the beef mixture along with 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese, and used my own recipe for the Taco seasoning (#76616). We enjoyed these very much, and I look forward to making them again. Another winner CL! Thanks for sharing....Kitten

The BEST stuffed pepper recipe! For the seasoning, I used Taco Seasoning Mix subbing chipotle chili powder for a smoky flavor. I also stirred some salsa into the meat/rice mixture & used more salsa (rather than tomatoes) on the bottom of the pan. For 4 large yellow peppers, the filling amount was perfect. Total amount of salsa I used was (2) 16 oz. jars. This is destined to be repeated many times! Thanks for sharing, CountryLady!

Very nice change from the usual stuffed peppers, the taco seasoning mix is a nice twist as is the salsa, both add lots of taste. I didn't have any sour cream in so we did without it. Other than scaling the recipe for two I made them just as instructed, they were delicious. Thanks for sharing, will be making them again.

This recipe is so delicious, easy and economical - just the way it is. Next time I will tweak the recipe for my personal taste by adding a tin of tomato soup to the can of diced tomatoes to make more sauce, adding bay leaves and a teaspn of sugar(helps to cut down the acidity of the tomatoes).I did add seasoning, minced garlic, chili flakes and parsley to the mince when I made it - so would do this again. I would omit the salsa (I did not feel that it needed it - the dish is very tasty on its own). The sour cream is a nice addition. I can't wait to eat the leftovers tomorrow - something I rarely say. Thanks for the great recipe!

We really like these peppers too. I have been making them this way for a couple of years. I add 1/2 cup of water to the pan before baking. I, too, use my own taco blend. Great recipe!

Made these for dinner,very very good. I added 3/4 cup of Sour Cream and a some corn to mixture, and it was awesome. DH said 10 stars. kids thought the mixture would be great in a Flour tortilla. Just a easy simple dinner. No leftover's to freeze, so I must make more.
