"My Aunt Virgie used to make this and we would have mashed potatoes, sour cream cucumbers, and fresh bakery bread with it. A great meal that we all enjoyed together! She never used a recipe so I tried to make it as close to what I remembered and came pretty close. For stuffed cabbage I also follow this recipe and omit the green peppers. This recipe does go together quickly and hope you enjoy the stuffed peppers as much as my family does."

Made these stuffed peppers last night and they were so tasty. Everything comes together easily and aroma while they are cooking is wonderful too. Next time I might use instant rice vs. regular as my rice didn't plump up enough for me. Great sauce and the best thing is that I have leftovers. : )

Whew I finally got around to making these, I had the recipe saved forever, the only change I made was I doubled the recipe and used fresh garlic in place dry, also added in some chili flakes, these were enjoyed for a Sunday dinner, thanks Lori! ( this was made for RZ Ground Beef tag Event)

Your stuffed peppers are right up there with your Unstuffed Green Pepper Soup! We love stuffed peppers, your recipe was enjoyed. Made as posted and wouldn't change a thing. How good - it's been added to my cookbook right along side our family favourite. Already thinking to a rerun!
