I seasoned ground beef with paprika, black pepper, salt, and garlic powder. The honey was a great addition to this classic.

I used yellow peppers and the stuffing was way too much. It could have filled 4 peppers. Honey was good but made it too sweet. Next time i would do half the honey especially with the yellow peppers being so sweet. Used garlic rice which gave it good flavor. Also i added pepper jack cheese for a little more spice and flavor. Amazing!

It will depend on the size of your peppers. Sometimes I find huge and sometimes little peppers, so freeze leftover stuffing for another time :)

Such an easy recipe!! I used a jar marinara sauce with burgundy wine which gave this even more flavor! Just delicious! My daughter doesn't like peppers but she raved over the beef mixture ;-)!!

Wow!! I've got to say who ever came up with adding honey is a genius! It completely perfected the peppers, I've made stuffed peppers before and couldn't get my boys to eat it but I had my little boy help me and he couldn't quit eating the stuffing. Everyone said this is the best bell peppers they've ever had! And I have to agree it will be a staple in our house from now on!

I'm 17 and I loved this recipe very easy and yummy! :) I omitted the honey and added a tablespoon of hot sauce for spice. I made this for my mommy on her day off.

Awesome recipe. I add some habanero (diced or sauce) for a nice bite. The hot sweet of the habanero blends in perfectly.

This is a favorite recipe of mine....except I dont add any honey....Regular tomato sauce is sweet enough. And I have used instant rice. Best tasting recipe.
