These were good even though I cut the recipe in half making only 6 peppers. i did cook them a little longer than indicated but the rice was still not totally cooked -- maybe 45 minutes (total time) would be better. i added feta cheese to the top of the peppers after 20 minutes so it could melt. Thanks for sharing!
