The recipe is perfect as it is. I'm not like all these "recipe tweakers". I have to try a recipe, as-is, the first time. However, next time I might see what it tastes like with 1/2 sharp cheddar and 1/2 mozzarella. Great recipe DannyGirl!

This is a great recipe, and our family has this at least once a month. We use sausage instead of hamburger to spice it up a bit. Also, instead of using whole peppers, I chop the peppers into bit sized pieces. This seems to help with the one in our group who isn't a big pepper fan. Thanks for the recipe!

This is my second time making this recipe and I absolutely love it. My family loves it as well. Very tasteful. I followed all the instructions but boiled the bell peppers a few minutes to get them soft before stuffing them. That takes away the crunch when they're done.

This was wonderful dish! Hubby and I both loved it and it will definitely be added to rotation. It's such a great play on stuffed peppers and the flavors are a nice balance and blend.

This recipe was a hit both at home and at work. I used Italian sausage instead of ground beef. I also added Andouille Sausage,and shrimped steamed with Old bay seasoning (I didn't add the shrimp until the rice was cooked and the peppers were ready to be stuffed). I also added Tony;s Chachere's Creole seasoning to the dirty rice mixture before cooking. Instead of using Franks hot sauce I used a mixture of Louisiana sweet honey hot sauce and Louisiana green pepper sauce. I also used shredded Colby & Jack cheese instead of Mozzarella cheese. After I stuffed the peppers I added a little water (1/4 cup) to the bottom of the baking dish to allow the peppers to steam while covered in the oven for 25 min. This made the peppers tender & easier to eat and enjoy with the rice mixture. The added meats and seasoning really gives this dish a true Authentic new Orleans feel and taste.

I added a little Tony Chachere’s seasoning to my rice before preparing mixture for stuffing. I added two shrimp to each Bell pepper. I topped the bell pepper with mozzarella cheese and Italian bread crumbs. I put back in the oven for five minutes and on broil for two to three minutes
