This is from ConAgra Foods. I like it because it uses common pantry ingredients. It's a healthy dish to serve.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my peppers didn't turn out very good. The filling was dry and the peppers were tough.

These peppers were a great way to use up some leftover lentils. I added a can of black beans to the filling and it turned out great!

These peppers were a little bland for my taste. I would add more spices to the filling next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the peppers turned out mushy. I think I would cook the lentils for a shorter amount of time next time.
