Good flavor, but the cooking directions take way longer than necessary. I can make this in 25 minutes tops. 1. start rice in rice cooker or on stove - this step takes longest. (Also, reduce rice by half for a more meat rich dish.) 2. add peppers to boiling, lightly salted water for 15 minutes. 3. While they are cooking put sausage and onion in large skillet. Brown the sausage first. Then add diced tomatoes, cheese and spices. (I used mega hot chili powder, but I love super spicy things. Adjust spices to taste. Use italian sausage and spices if you like flavor, but not heat.) 4. Remove peppers from water and set aside - they won't cool too much. Add cooked rice to the sausage mix and stir. 5. Stuff the peppers. Put cheese on top and put under broiler for 3 minutes to toast it. Done - takes 25 minutes max.

These dumplings are right at the midway point between too fluffy and too dense. They are fluffy, but have a good chewy texture without being undercooked. They get four stars only because the oregano needs to be cut by a little. I like my flavors bold so at first I ignored the posters who said it was too much, but they were right. Next time I'm going to try them with different spices and see what flavor options I can create. Excellent dumpling recipe!

Fabulous. Much better than plain garlic and butter. The little dash of pepper flakes doesn't make it hot, just a little spicy. If you have unsalted butter, put in a pinch of salt to make the flavors pop.
