DDawnC 10 Posted September 2, 2005 Ooooooohhh, that sounds yummy! Very stick-to-your-ribs and gooey! Paris, when I see your name and picture above a recipe, I automatically assume it's delicious.

Paris Madeleine 0 Posted September 2, 2005 :::blush::: Â This is tried and true for us. I grew up eating a fattier, less veggie version of this and IMO the small modification (more peppers, more tomatoes) make it even better. I just bought all the ingredients I need to make it this weekend. 273.8/266.8/164 restart 1 November 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*WWDonna* 0 Posted September 2, 2005 Ok, I've got a slew of bell peppers and tomtoes from my garden. I was planning on making stuffed bell peppers, but I think I'll make UNSTUFFED bell peppers instead. Donna SW 310 GOAL 12/4/07 Proud to a Vegan WW. "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."

WnderLander 0 Posted September 9, 2005 Paris, this is a wonderful One Pot dish. I love those dishes anyway because they are comfort foods and regardless the lifestyle that one has chosen those are always good to have around. DH loves stuffed peppers so I though this would be an interesting dish... and it was better then interesting, it was wonderful! I did make one change, rather then two cans of tomatos, I used one can of tomatos and one of tomatos and green chiles. I love them and use them in just about everything I use tomatos in.

Paris Madeleine 0 Posted September 9, 2005 I am so glad y'all like this one, it is definitely a fave for me. I am actually pulling a portion out of the freezer for my lunch at work tomorrow. 273.8/266.8/164 restart 1 November 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kansaslaura 0 Posted September 11, 2005 I love the sounds of the recipe with one exception, (and I'm a total CHEESE LOVER!!) I think I'll leave the cheese out. Don't know why, but the cheese just doesn't sound good to me. Maybe I'll sprinkle some Parmesan on it when served I love warm and cozy things like this!

Sharoon 10 Posted September 25, 2005 Thanks for sharing this great recipe! Definitely gets a five star rating from me. I purposely only made 1/2 the recipe! This is soooooooo much easier than stuffing peppers too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest KellyGreen Posted September 25, 2005 I am planning on making this tonight...so far only my hubby is looking forward to it! I will post tomorrow and let everyone know how we liked it! Thanks Paris!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest KellyGreen Posted September 27, 2005 Well.....IT WAS AWESOME!!! Â I did make some variations though..... Â I cut up half an onion and some zuchinni, and some spinach and just put them in a pan and cooked em up a little before I added them to the mixture. I also opted to not add the peppers to the mix because I wanted to actually stuff the green peppers with the mixture, and once I did that I put them in the oven at 450 degrees....and, I sprinkled some low fat cheese on top of it.... it turned out sooooooo good!! My DH absolutely loved it, I loved it...but the kids weren't too crazy about it! So next time, hubby and I will have that, and the kids can have mac and cheese! Â Also...this recipe makes ALOT...there was plenty left over to freeze...so next time all I have to do is buy a couple of peppers and just stuff em, bake em, and VOILA! Dinner!

Guest MamaxMiax Posted May 4, 2006 Sounds delicious!!! I will be trying. I think I will stuff the peppers too instead of putting them in the mis. Either way it sounds great!! Thanks for another great recipe, Paris!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mom*of*7 10 Posted May 11, 2006 This was wonderful!! My DH and DD loved it also! It is truly a comfort food, very filling and delicious!!! Thank you so very much! s/w 261 c/w 199 goal 160:buddysmoo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jadeturtle 0 Posted June 9, 2006 Excellent recipe. Changed it slightly by making it with 97% lean ground turkey, using non-fat beef broth, adding one medium sized vidalia onion to brown w/turkey, and seasoning it with 2 T tex-mex chili seasoning instead of salt. Also used diced tomatoes with peppers instead of the plain diced tomatoes. Didn't stir in the cheese but added 1/4 C fat-free cheese as a topping for each bowl. Absolutely delish.....my husband had TWO servings.

volksgirl64 10 Posted July 18, 2006 DB and I both really liked this recipe! Changes I made: threw in some chopped onion and minced garlic with the beef, added some oregano, and I accidentally used only once can of tomatoes, but 2 would have been better!  Thanks for a great recipe! - Jacque  "Hang Tough.

kimmibear 10 Posted September 18, 2006 i loved this, but am wondering approx how much each of you ate for a serving? i did mine by weight, and 1/8th of the dish came out to 3/4 lb per serving. very big serving, which is nice.

bethsj 0 Posted July 24, 2007 I ate this at a bonfire/party and it was awesome! Everyone loved it, and I was afraid I was blowing my points for the night. The girl who made it said it was WW friendly, and none of us could believe it. I would also add some onion and garlic, possibly some zucchini. Thanks for posting!
