I would not recommend this recipe. The filling was bland and the peppers were undercooked.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The recipe was easy to follow, but I found that the filling was a little dry. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more sauce.

I followed the recipe exactly and my peppers turned out mushy. I think I should have cooked them for a shorter amount of time.

These stuffed bell peppers were a little bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added more seasoning to the filling.

I'm not a huge fan of bell peppers, but I love this recipe. The filling is so flavorful and the peppers are cooked perfectly. I always make a double batch so I can have leftovers for lunch the next day.

This is my go-to recipe for stuffed bell peppers. It's simple, delicious, and always a hit with my guests. I usually add a little extra cheese to the filling and I always serve them with a side of sour cream.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of ground beef, rice, and vegetables is delicious and the peppers are always cooked just right.
