This recipe is awful, the rice doesn’t even get close to done and the meat mixture is so dry it is sickening. This was my first time making stuffed peppers and I probably won’t ever try again.
Suzan says
Mine turned out great! I chopped up the tops of the green peppers and added that to the mixture. I only used 1/2 tablespoon Italian seasoning and 1/2 tablespoon summer savory and 1 teaspoon Lawry’s seasoned salt. I cooked them for 6 hours on low, then my crock pot went to “warm” for 3 hours. They were delicious! I will definitely make this again.

My family loved them. I did cook my rice first and used oregano, thyme, garlic powder, pepper and a little seasoning salt. I also added a little of the jarred sauce to the meat mixture and poured the rest on top. Cooked on low for 6 hours. Great!

I made this today and it was absolutely delicious. I cooked the rice before and found I did not need all that rice. I had leftover meat and rice mixture after stuffing four large peppers, so I made meat balls and just dropped them in the sauce. Cooked everything on low for seven hours and it was perfect. Thank you so much for this recipe 😊
