These were pretty good. I will cook the meat first next time cause there was a ton of grease in the peppers.

Awesome! Made one change and that was to use Asiago cheese in the meat mixture. And for the cheese mixture on top, I used parmesan and mozzerella cheese, as the recipe calls for. Also, I used my home made spaghetti sauce which I keep in freezer at all times for occasions like this. Fantastic recipe.

This is a very good recipe and I am happy I found it. The only change I did was using a Chicken Italian sausage in place of the beef. I also poured some of the marinara around the peppers before baking them. Then I warmed the rest of the sauce and served it over the top as the recipe stated. I also used fresh mozzarella cheese which I think gave it some nice moisture since the chicken sausage may have a tendency to get dried out. I used my meat thermometer to check that it was cooked through. Very nice recipe that could be played with in many variations for fun. I might think of adding sliced olives, etc, or other interesting "pizza topping" type of items to this. Thank you for posting this Amanda.

Big hit with the family. I did not want to make my peppers with rice, and this was so delicious! I will definitely be making these again.

These were awesome. Based on the reviews, I decided to use Italian sausage instead of beef and reduced the bread crumbs to 1/3 c. I also used fresh basil, oregano and thyme instead Italian seasoning. The reason for the 4 star rating was the need to spice it up a bit. Baked as described in the directions. They were cooked through and not dry.

The concept is good, but as written it's pretty bland. I think that next time I'll use italian sausage instead of beef. I will make this again, but it definitely needs more flavor. And for all those people afraid of it not cooking through, just take it's temperature before serving to make sure it's hot enough. no need to brown the meat first. I don't think it would be as good that way.

My husband thought this would have been really good if the peppers weren't cooked. Also had a hard time getting the meat mixture done. I think next time I make this, I will cook the meat mixture, then stuff in peppers and serve cold.

Wow, very good. I did pre-cook the peppers for a few minutes in boiling water. Also, based on other reviews, I decreased the bread crumbs (used italian bread crumbs) to 1/3 c. Even though I did decrease the bread crumbs, the mixture was still a little dry, so I added a splash of milk. I also decreased the cheese (used 1/2 c. each) to lighten this up. I didn't bother cooking them with the tops on. I'd definitely make this again with the aforementioned tweaks.

Delicious recipe! Great as is, but the 4 stars is just bc i like a little heat, so i made just a few variations- 1/2 lb italian sausage + 1/4 lb ground turkey instead of the beef, added 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes and 1/4 c diced jalepenos, sprinkle a little cheese on top and yum!!
