I love this recipe!! I just had my fourth pepper in a week! I didn't boil the green peppers (that would overcook the peppers and cook a lot of the ingredients out) and I also only simmered the filling for about 5 minutes. I cut the tops off the peppers and chopped up the tops and added them to the filling which made it more hearty. I used Heinz tomato soup (I can't find it in the US but it's available in Canada) because it is SO much better than Campbell's! I also used brown rice. I didn't add in salt or anything since the soup made it salty enough. I put the filling into the raw peppers and baked them at about 375 or 400 for about 40 minutes (about 50 if I stuffed the peppers a few days ahead of time since the stuffing would need the extra time to heat up after being in the fridge). I loved the chili powder and garlic powder and the sausage gave the filling a nice twist instead of using the usual ground beef. The cheese inside the filling was also a nice hidden touch. I used mozzarella and topped the peppers off with just a little. Anyway, this recipe is so good and I'm a tougher rater (3 stars = good). Thanks for the recipe and I hope others will enjoy this recipe as much as I do!

I just finished eating this salad (the empty bowl is sitting here right in front of me) and thought it was excellent!! It takes a lot for me to give something five stars but I think that this salad is so simple yet so good and healthy (something that is very important to me). It is made with ingredients I usually have on hand so that's a plus as well. I did everything as called for except used bacon bits instead, used one whole egg for serving (I was eating this salad as a meal on its own), and about double the green pepper asked for as I cut up too much and did not want to waste the rest. Next time, the only change I might make is to use olive oil instead for the health benefits - the dressing definitely makes this recipe. I have put this recipe in my recipe box and will go back to it many times over!! I can't wait to make it for guests. Thank you for sharing! :)

I had a few lasagna noodles left in my cupboard but not enough to make a whole recipe for lasagna so I thought this recipe was a great idea!! I didn't have any ricotta on hand so I used cream cheese instead. I didn't bother to measure any of the ingredients since I was just making this recipe for myself. I also added in some grated carrot, added mozzarella on top and a bit of sauce to the filling, and removed the nutmeg since I thought I had changed the recipe enough. Anyway, I thought this recipe was a great idea and it tasted great too!! I gave it 4 stars just because something has to be utterly amazing for me to give it 5. Anyway, I would definitely recommend trying out this recipe with a nice salad on the side. Excellent!
