These peppers were a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I'll probably use milder peppers next time.

These peppers were a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

These stuffed peppers are a great way to use up leftover rice. They're also a great meal to make ahead of time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the peppers turned out undercooked. I had to put them back in the oven for an additional 15 minutes.
