Stuffed Peppers (Betty Crocker 40th Anniversary Edition)- Vegeta image

This is the same recipe my mother has made for years. I have changed it to make it vegetarian. Also please note that I also add some of the mozzarella cheese in with the stuffing mixture besides topping the peppers when done. I will post the original recipe shortly that includes the meat. Edited January 26, 2009...I took 2 packages of spicy black bean veggie burgers and crumbled and sautéed with the other ingredients and took this to a whole level up!! Try it and see for yourself!! YUMMY!
