    First time making stuffed peppers and they came out great!

      Awesome! I want to try this recipe too! How long did they take to bake?

    Too much cheese for my taste, but my kids liked it.

    Why do you need rice? Just meat and spinach is better!

    I can’t believe how easy this recipe is! I’m not great in the kitchen, and it was a hit.

      I totally agree! This was so easy to make. I added some extra spices for flavor and everyone loved it!

    I used brown rice instead of white and added some spices. It was really flavorful!

    Will never make these again – too much work for not enough flavor.

    This recipe is great! But can I use frozen spinach instead?

    My peppers got burnt on the bottom but the top was ok. Oven issues maybe?

    I thought this was going to be bad, but surprisingly I liked it! Who knew peppers could taste so good?

    1. User avatar edie.kiehn says:

      I totally agree! Peppers are like little flavor bombs. Who would have thought? This recipe is a game changer!

    I don’t understand why you have to bake these. Can’t I just eat them raw?

    1. User avatar Bowerick Wowbagger says:

      5 stars
      You really should bake them! Raw meat and uncooked rice isn’t safe. Trust me, they come out much better baked!

    Is there a vegetarian version of this? I have friends who don’t eat meat.

    Cooking the beef first is a must. Don’t skip that step!

    Next time I’m adding more spinach! Can’t let my kids know it’s in there. 😊

      I dunno… kids can be picky. What if they find out? Maybe try blending it first? 🤔

    2. User avatar miles.franecki60 says:

      Great idea! I’m sure they’ll never know. Spinach is sneaky! 😂

    Finally found a way to eat spinach without hating it!

    1. User avatar Hillman Hunter says:

      I know, right?! Spinach can taste good if you prepare it the right way. This recipe sounds delicious!

    2. User avatar valorie.parisian20 says:

      3 stars
      Really? Spinach still sounds yucky to me, but maybe stuffing it in a pepper would help. Gonna try!

    My mom used to make these but with a different filling. Childhood memories!

    I just threw the whole thing in the microwave… not the same but still edible.

    Less beef more veggies next time! But overall not bad!

      But do they taste good tho? I mean, it’s just peppers and meat, right?

    2. User avatar guillermo.nikolaus1954 says:

      Totally agree! They look amazing! Can’t wait to try this recipe! 🌈

    Soooo good! I added jalapeños for some heat.

    The instructions were kinda confusing, I ended up mixing everything in a pot and just spooning into the peppers.

    Peppers are too healthy for me! Stick with chips.

    These turned out amazing! My family loved them. Will definitely make again!

    1. User avatar jamel.cummings says:

      I dunno, stuffed peppers aren’t real food. Just meat and veggies in a shell, right? Doesn’t sound appetizing to me.

    2. User avatar geoWizard says:

      So glad to hear that! These are a hit in my house too. Can’t wait to see what other recipes you try!

    What if I used chicken instead of beef? Would it still work?

    1. User avatar alden.braun79 says:

      4 stars
      Sure, chicken would work fine! Just make sure to cook it thoroughly. It might change the flavor a bit but should still taste good!

  26. User avatar brandy.wuckert says:

    These were a hit at my potluck! Thank you for this!

    I forgot to buy mozzarella. Used cheddar instead. Not as good.

    1. User avatar cruz.miller67 says:

      4 stars
      Cheddar is ok, but it ain’t the same! Mozzarella makes it creamier for sure. Don’t worry, I did that too once.

    I really don’t get why people put cheese on everything. Ugh.

    1. User avatar Cecil Towne DDS says:

      Cheese makes everything better! Maybe you just haven’t tried the right dish? These stuffed peppers sound great with it.

    I’m diabetic. Can I substitute the rice for anything?

    1. User avatar elvin.dooley23 says:

      5 stars
      You could try using quinoa instead of rice! It’s low in carbs and healthier for diabetics.

  31. User avatar ozzie.schaefer says:

    5 stars
    Delicious!!! I feel like a chef now! 🤣

    This recipe is for the basic. Ugh, come on, give us some spice!
