  • I have been looking so long for a good stuffed pepper recipe - finally found it. Was not hard to put together. To make a more healthy version, I used ground turkey, & In place of rice, I used barley. I will use this recipe over and over again.

  • This sounds really good, the only difference with mine is I use barbeque sauce in the meat and mix some with a little water I pour into the pot so the peppers stay moist.

  • instead of cooking hamberg first i just stuff the pepper with seasoned hamberg and sometimes i even add a package of instant lipton onion mix and i poke a hole in bottom of pepper so they can drain and i cover them with either tomato sauce or spaghetti sauce and i cook them for about 8 hrs

  • This is a awesome flavorful recipe, which just took me such a short time to prepare. To come hoe to a meal such as this is a great feeling instead of fast food.

  • I add tomato soup diluted with a can of beef bullion. This works very well with stuffed cabbage, also.

  • I never use additional fat when browning ground beef, just don't need any more fat especially the trans fat stuff. Otherwise a nice recipe.

  • Not as tasty as my mothers recipe. She used a pressure cooker as well. But this was easy.

  • Just to piggy back on my last entry, I use the ground beef ALONG WITH the Sweet Italian Sausage....YUMMY

  • This dish is great. But to take the flavor TO THE MAX, I use turkey sweet Italian sausage and layer in mushrooms zuchini and a blend of parmesean, mosserella, and chedder cheeses. Add 1 bay leaf to the center of each bellpepper...And for all all of you spice lovers who want to add even more KICK Use HOT Italian sausage and top with Cayenne pepper...

  • Easy and delicious. Family loves stuffed peppers but this recipe was the one they loved; thanks! We topped ours off with cheese too!!!

  • I have found that adding stewed tomatoes gives this recipe a moist scculant taste and is even healthier. My family prefers this at least.

  • I am sure the Crisco was just to prepare the pan so the beef does not stick, Try just using the sprays instead. Love the idea of the bacon! Also, I use tomato soup instead of the sauce just adding 1/2 can of water instead of full can. (my kids perfer the soup taste)

  • why do you need shortening to brown the hanburger? It creates it's own grease. I do it without the shortening.

  • i add cheese to mine and put a slice of bacon top

  • I agree with the other, adding garlic, increasing the basil and omitting the crisco. I added 1/4 t. of cinnamon to make it perfect for my family.

  • i tried this dish and it was good , but i love garlic so,i added some to this, it gave it that special taste i personaly like

  • Omit Crisco. Enough fat in ground beef to drain off. Use Ground Sirloin.

  • When adding the Basil, you add 1/2 tsp AND a dash, not just a dash.
