Mexican-Style Stuffed Peppers image

We've always liked stuffed peppers, but everyone is pleasantly surprised at this mildly spicy version. For convenience, you can assemble these pretty peppers ahead of time and bake them later. -LaDonna Reed of Ponca City, Oklahoma

Overall, I thought these stuffed peppers were just okay. They were easy to make, but the flavor was just average.

I would not recommend this recipe. The stuffed peppers were bland and the filling was too runny.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my stuffed peppers turned out dry. I think I should have used more sauce.

These stuffed peppers were a little bland for my taste. I added some extra spices, and they were much better.

These stuffed peppers were easy to make and turned out great! I used ground turkey instead of beef, and it worked perfectly.

I'm not a big fan of bell peppers, but these stuffed peppers were delicious! The filling was flavorful and the peppers were roasted to perfection.
