I made this for dinner last night. It was great! I added the salt and pepper as suggested and added some leftover veggies I had instead of the ones suggested...much easier than chopping the others. I blanched the peppers before stuffing them and then baked them in the oven vs the microwave. I also used colby jack cheese since I didn't have the parma. cheese. Nice change from the rice stuffed peppers I used before. I used 4 very large peppers, so I had just enough filling. The only change I'd make would to be to add a bit more seasoning. Not sure what, but it is open for experimenting.<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"08\/23\/2012 08:06","GUID":"9C0C041FFE1830C4BA8CE28DA4B690E1","MemberId":36252,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"76ewood","SubmittedDate":"08\/23\/2012 08:06"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"08\/18\/2012 11:56","GUID":"f2fd3d24a5ef4b9197447c6367e81ccb","MemberId":6388486,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Melanie","SubmittedDate":"08\/18\/2012 11:56"},{"Comment":"

The filling in this recipe was too runny and it filled 6 peppers, not 4. I will make it again except I will use 6 peppers, 1 cup of orzo, 1-1\/2 cups of the vegetables, 1 cup of parmesan cheese divided, 1 cup of spaghetti sauce in the filling and pour the other cup over the top before sprinkling the parmesan over the tops. I also think it needs about 1\/2 tsp. salt and 1\/4 tsp. pepper or more in the filling. I think I will bake them in the oven for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees instead of microwaving the final cooking. I think it will be more firm and easier to eat.

I changed it somewhat, I used Italian Sausage in place of beef. I had some leftover rice (1 cup) so I used it in place of orzo pasta. I increased the broccoli-cauliflower blend to 1 cup. I blanched fresh broccoli and cauliflower in place of frozen.<\/p>
With the added rice and veggies you can make 5 peppers<\/p>
I also parboiled the pepper and baked them in the over at 375 for about 20 to 25 minutes.<\/p>

I made this tonight and it was wonderful. I never knew stuffed peppers were so easy to make in a microwave. I'll never use my oven again. I did not have any frozen broccoli-cauliflower blend at home so I used a broccoli-carrot blend instead and I substituted a Mexican cheese blend for the Parmesan cheese. The only place where the recipe errors is I got enough of the stuffing to fill at least 6 or more peppers.

Dee-Li-Cious!!! Came out great in my oven. I don't use my microwave a whole lot and I was afraid it would nuke my stuffed peppers to smitherins!

In response to troi40, if you check out the other stuffed bell peppers on this site you'll see that the peppers are usually pre-cooked in boiling water for 3 to 4 minutes. Rinse in cold water and drain while you make the filling. Then bake for 25 to 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Since your filling is already precooked you won't need to bake them very long. I like my peppers a little tender-crisp so I start checking them at about 20 minutes to make sure they don't get too mushy. Actually, I've never tried making stuffed bells in the microwave so I might try these. Anything to keep the kitchen cooler on the 100+ degrees day we get here in the San Joaquin Valley. BTW you don't have to rate a recipe to ask a question or comment on it. Giving a 1 star rating without trying it just lowers the rating overall. Not trolling, just commenting.<\/p>","CommentId":18,"DateRated":"07\/30\/2012 14:54","GUID":"7d0a69f38b3442d2906ea185e3b5fefa","MemberId":3628184,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"PTuttle","SubmittedDate":"07\/30\/2012 14:54"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":19,"DateRated":"07\/30\/2012 10:47","GUID":"698a897dfc434012bb3e8601b44c6e58","MemberId":5561976,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"sammyjo24","SubmittedDate":"07\/30\/2012 10:47"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":20,"DateRated":"07\/30\/2012 08:17","GUID":"85cc147288924c1c9fe64bd2b1cb60f7","MemberId":1263135,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"tommypoo","SubmittedDate":"07\/30\/2012 08:17"},{"Comment":"
