The filling was amazing. I only cooked them for about 3 and a half hours and they came out to be at the perfect tenderness...not too mushy at all.

I cooked these peppers for the minimum amount of time and the peppers came out too tender - almost mushy. They were falling apart as I took them out of the slow cooker. Perhaps this is not the best method for making stuffed peppers. The filling is great though!

This is cleary not a vegetarian recipe if the second ingredient listed is ground beef.

I rated this item as 3 by accident, I would have rated it a 1 or even a 0. My family did not like this recipe one bit, noone finished it. It was very bland and had an overall bad taste. We usually love stuffed peppers, just not this recipe! Unfortunately, we will not be adding this to our menu again.
