These peppers were very good and suprisingly filling. Next time I would choose the cuban black beans from S & W to give them a little more flavor. Otherwise these were very good and would definitely prepare them again.

Versatle dish! Two halves by themselves are a very filling meatless main dish. How ever one of the halves is a satisfactory side dish. I open roasted in the oven however the top of the rice filling got a little hardened. The next time we'll grill in the foil packets as per the recipe. Yes, definately a keeper.

Tried this with a few twists: I cooked a pound of loose mild sausage with some garlic and chili powder, brought the heat down to low added some frozen corn and then the remaining ingredients. It had great flavor and made a lot more of the filling so I had enough for five plus some left over! Pretty yummy :)
