I'm on a low-carb diet, but I think I could make this recipe work by using cauliflower rice instead of regular rice.

I'm allergic to bell peppers, but this recipe looks so good that I'm thinking about trying it with a different vegetable. Maybe zucchini or eggplant?

This recipe was a disaster. The peppers were undercooked and the filling was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I think next time I'll use a milder pepper. Otherwise, the recipe was easy to follow and the peppers were cooked perfectly.
