I have loved stuffed peppers since I was a very little girl. Coming from a large family, making a dinner based on rice and veggies was not only easy and healthly but also economic. I also sometimes add low fat ground beef to the rice, making it an even heartier and filling meal.

Yum!! Love stuffed peppers, and this recipe looks like it might be easier than the current recipe I use.

I would use this as a side dish and definitely use fat free ingredients.

the Fat is from the cheese, unless you use the no fat shredded cheese, and use brown rice, which is supposed to be more healthy, and add browned ground turkey... would be a good addition.... maybe use colored peppers for something different, and chop up the the part of the pepper you cut off... add it to the other ingredients.

Looks sooo good will make tomorrow! I am going to add some browned Italian sausage to the mix. Or maybe I will serve links on the side. Either way am excited about this one. Thanks Mr. Food for some inspiration
