If you love the cuisine from the Middle East, you are sure to love these. I have also made these using ground chicken but I think beef tastes best.

These stuffed bell peppers were delicious! The peppers were roasted to perfection and the filling was moist and flavorful. I especially loved the combination of the ground beef and the vegetables.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always been a success. The peppers are always cooked perfectly and the filling is always flavorful. I like to use a variety of different cheeses in the filling, depending on what I have on hand.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover rice and vegetables. I always have a lot of leftover rice after making a big batch of fried rice, so I usually use it to make these stuffed bell peppers. They're always a hit with my family and friends.
