IN the middle of making it now. I have no doubt they will taste great. Added a sprinkle of garlic salt to it though.

Hi Bobby, I recently discovered your blog and am very impressed with both the recipes (clear and concise) and the accompaning photos (stunning visuals). I made the stuffed bell peppers following the recipe exactly (well, except for forgetting to salt inside the bell peppers after boiling...) and they were delicious! Thanks for sharing.
