These turned out wonderfully! I didn't have the textured vegetable protein (and to be honest, I don't even know what that is!), but it tasted great without it.

I thought this recipe was really good. My household responded positively to it despite the fact there was no meat. I actually substituted the TVP with black beans and used brown rice. I also added different spices and hot sauces to make the end result a bit spicier. All in all, the meal was well received.

My boyfriend made this dish for the family and it was great. (Even better the next day). He used yellow bells, ground turkey and basil instead of tofu and oregano and brown instead of white rice. We'd love to try it with the tofu next time.

Delicious! Made as written, and the family loved it - including the picky 7-year-old. My husband has requested I put this in the "family favourites" binder.

I made these for a dinner with friends. I went for more of a fiesta theme and I used rotel instead of tomato sauce, mexican cheese instead of mozzarella, and added taco seasoning. Tasted great!

This is great. I replaed the tomato sauce by condensed tomato soup for added taste. Textured vegetable proteine also called TVP can be bought at health food stores and at stores like Bulk Barn

Good vegetarian main dish. I used brown rice instead of white and good jarred spaghetti sauce instead of the tomato sauce and added fresh garlic in with the onions but used everything else as listed. The dish was really good. The next day I sliced the left over pepper and put in a french roll. Tasted just like a meatball sub lol. Thanks!

Did NOT use vegetable protein...instead used ground turkey. Added some turmeric, cajun seasoning and saracha sauce to the filling. I also had used three large peppers and ended up needing the same amount of filling ingredients. Overall, good recipe...just add meat if you're not a fan of or have no idea what textured vegetable protein is. haha

This was the most bland recipe - ever. To fix this I added a can of diced tomatoes seasoned with basil, garlic and oregano. I also added extra Italian seasoning, some garlic, onion powder, celery, crushed red pepper flakes, and used real beef.
