Bobbie Jean Wanted let u know I made this tonight & it was awesome!!!! Husband was happy & we both loved it!!!! Thank you for sharing it, Melissa

The filling was amazing! Unfortunately 4 out of 5 consumers in my house don't like peppers themselves. Not a fault of the recipe, a fault on the cook who decided to make stuffed PEPPERS. But everyone loved the beefy filling. I used 2 red, 2 orange and 2 yellow peppers and boiled them for 5 minutes before hand instead of microwaving them. I went a little astray on the 'Creole' part of the recipe. I was going for more Italian, but I chose this recipe for the method and proportions more than the actual ingredients. So I did change things up a bit. I omitted the chili powder, sugar, clove and bay leaf. I used a 15 oz. can of Progresso's Roasted Tomato recipe starter instead of plain tomato sauce. I browned the beef, added the onion and fried until translucent, added precooked minute rice, crushed tomatoes, (w/ the juice) garlic and 1/2 cup of water. I put some Italian seasoning and spices in the recipe starter, with salt and pepper and added about a 1/2 cup to the beef mixture. I stuffed the peppers and this was enough to fill them pretty full. Then I spooned the Starter sauce over the tops and had some left over. I baked them in the oven for 20 minutes. Mixed about a 1/2 a cup of sour cream w/ ranch seasoning into the recipe starter sauce spooned that over the top of the peppers then added shredded cheese on top and baked for 5 minutes more. Then I plated the peppers cut them in half and spooned the rest of the sauce over them. They were AMAZING!!!

These were good. Not my best dinner though. I guess I was hoping for something a little more saucy and sloppy. The sauce firmed up on top and they were a tad dry. Some tweaking may help. Could have creoled em up a little more with a little Tony's, but overall a good flavor... Oh, also, the peppers really need to be cooked before stuffing, and 45 seconds was not enough. I microwaved them for about 2 minutes and cooked them in the oven for about 45 minutes. The longer they cook, the better the flavor.

I found the chili powder did overpower the taste of the sauce, and the stuffing was bland. I also parboilded the green peppers because heating them in the microwave did not work well. My husband enjoyed it, however. I will continue my search for a good stuffed pepper recipe.

My husband loved this creole recipe. Will do this one again and didnt change a thing.

This came out so well!! I used red peppers instead of green and the juices from the red peppers were so sweet and amazing. I substituted equal for sugar. I also added green olives and olive juice to the sauce for more flavor. I used fresh crushed tomatoes instead of canned, tomato paste instead of tomato sauce, and brown rice instead of white. I minced mushrooms in the sauce as well. I also added a cajun seasoning to the sauce. This recipe was amazing!! Thank you!!

I wasn't a huge fan of this one but my husband and son couldn't get enough. I think the meat filling needed a bit more flavor but the tomato Creole sauce is absolutely delicious.

This was very tatsy! Perfect recipe! Just the right amount of sauce and very flavorfull!

Very time-consuming, but very good. I agree with making more sauce; I had just enough to cover five small peppers, but had another plate of the filling! Will work on portions, but excellent dish!

I LOVE this recipe. Followed to the letter, it is delicious. Once you make it a few times and tweak it to your family's taste, it is AMAZING. Thank you, Bobbie Jean!
