This is a great combination of ingredients and flavors! We are trying to cut back a little on the amount of red meat we eat, so I only used 1/2 a pound of ground beef, but I added in about a cup of cooked brown rice before adding the gravy to make up for what we were leaving out. I used an entire 8oz container of fresh unsliced mushrooms - I'm not sure if that would have been the same as using 1 cup, but because they shrink down while in the saute pan, it turned out to be just the right amount. I also used only about a half a cup of gravy to bring the beef mixture together, and I saved the rest for each person at the table to use on top of the meal. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!!

Excellent recipe! This is a great alternative to regular "Italian" style stuffed peppers. I used Monterey Jack cheese with hot peppers instead of plain Monterey Jack. It made for a spicy dish! I'll definitely be making this again!

As written I would just rate this 3 stars but following suggestions in reviews it was quite good. I did add Paula Deen's House Seasoning and cayenne pepper to the ground meat while browning. After draining meat I also added about 2 cups cooked white rice. Used entire two cups of gravy in mixture to bind and made a third cup to drizzle over cooked peppers. I also seasoned the last cup of gravy a little to give it some added flavor. It turned out pretty good despite the fact that I only had green peppers on hand. I am sure it will be even better with red.

I was happy to find a stuffed peppers recipe with ground beef and no tomato ingredient. This is a great basic recipe that stands beautifully on it's own, or you can add as much of what you like to taste. My 2nd time making this I sautéed the onions and mushrooms first, added a 1/2 cup of uncooked 30 minute rice, some Italian bread crumbs, minced garlic and a pinch of cayenne pepper. I also didn't blanch the peppers first and instead added a bit of water to the pan to steam a bit during cooking. Peppers came out al dente, which is the way we personally like them. Using small peppers makes for a very nice appetizer too!

make sure you use all lean meat and low fat cheese, b/c the fat can add up significantly when everything is done.

WOW! This was delicious! I seasoned the meat with Adobo and pepper, otherwise I followed the recipe as is. I served it in a pool of gravy with some brown rice, and warmed Hawaiian Rolls. I sent the two peppers I had left to my dad, and he called the next day RAVING about these. YUMMO!! It was so easy to make and the presentation was very pretty. I regret not taking a picture. I will be making this again and again and again.

I thought these were really tasty. One thing that I forgot to add was the gravy so I'm sure that would have held the mixture together. I won't forget that again next time; I make these!

Excellent switch up to green peppers with tomato sauce. Had enough filling for 4 medium size red peppers. Added garlic & cayenne to meat based on suggestions. Used McCormick beef gravy mix packet, had 1 cup leftover so next time I'll cut that back. Didn't boil peppers since I like them crisp, only baked for about 15min. Used italian blend cheese since that's all I had. Served brown rice on side. So yum! Will definitely make again!

Great recipe, I added rice in my mixture and it was super.
03/29/2010
I used red bellpeppers instead of yellow. It was very delicious. The mushrooms added a great flavor to this dish.
07/17/2002
This was really good. I added a bit more seasoning: white pepper, onion salt and a touch of red pepper to give it a kick. Excellent. I will make it again.
01/16/2007
I love this one. It's great. I added minced garlic, jalapeno, and used a brown gravy mix. Also added more mushrooms and less beef.
11/15/2002
We are trying to cut back on carbs (like everyone else these days), and my fiance bought a huge bag of red peppers from Costco. What to do? What to do? Thought I would give this a try, since this is the only recipe I found that doesn't have the dreaded white rice. It was suprisingly good. Very tasty. I will definitely make this again. I used shitake mushrooms combined with the regular button mushrooms. I think this was a good move. It added just a hint of something different. Great recipe. Thanks Bob!
06/12/2008
Bland. I would add more seasoning other than salt & pepper. Using a beef gravy I decided to enhance it with a little steak seasoning. It made a great difference!
04/09/2011
Great simple recipe! I added a little bit of old bay and a Tbsp of minced garlic to the meat mixture to give it a little bit more flavor (I'm an avid garlic lover) but other than that I didn't change a thing and the whole family loved it...even my picky 4yr old! Thanks for the excellent recipe!
01/13/2010
Very good receipe, I've made this 4 times already
07/06/2012
This recipe is amazing! The only thing I did differently was dice up the pepper tops and add them to the meet mixture, I also mixed 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack Cheese in the meat mixture, and chopped up one jalepeno pepper and put it into the meat mixture. With everything else, I followed the recipe. I did though add more mushrooms. This is a recipe to share! Thank You to whoever posted it! :)
04/29/2009
Delicious and simple! Will make again, but will add rice.
08/28/2009
I didn't pre-cook the peppers or the hamburger, just upped the oven time to approx. 45 to 50 minutes. I also used BBQ sauce instead of gravy and pepper jack cheese.
01/06/2010
Great recipe! This was my first time making stuffed peppers and they came out delicious. I added a bit more seasoning and cut back to about 1 1/2 cups gravy. Will definately be making this one again. Thanks.
11/20/2009
Just ok...a little bland. Probably won't make again, needed more spices or something.
09/08/2011
delicious and i think next time I will add a package of taco mix sauce or something like that to help spice it up a bit.
06/08/2008
My husband and I did not care for this.
03/06/2012
These turned out so great my husband and 7yr old son really loved them so easy,, i did add half a cup cooked basmatti rice with magie cube to the mix and it was just perfect addition to this recipie yummm...
07/29/2008
I'm glad I found a stuffed pepper recipe without rice. It does a number on my blood sugar. Thanks for this recipe.
08/25/2009
My first attempt at making stuffed peppers, in fact I didn't think I liked stuffed peppers... but this recipe proved me wrong. So easy to make, I even cheated and used canned mushrooms and omitted the onions and this still turned out great. I did season the meat for extra flavor, and for the gravy I made The Simplest Beef Gravy from this site and I was impressed. This recipe is a keeper.
06/22/2008
I didn't the gravy and liked this one.
09/14/2006
Only reason I gave 4 stars instead of five was because I had to tweak the spices quite a bit. Otherwise was too bland for my taste. But this was really good. Definitely use red peppers instead of green. I also added cheese into the meat mixture. Did not parboil the peppers as I was worried they might become too soft after baking them. They turned out wonderful. Nice and firm but soft enough to eat. We loved this a lot.
01/17/2007
I jazzed up the beef by adding 3-4 tbs of dijon mustard, 3 garlic cloves and doubling the amount of onion. Great recipe but the beef mixture needs some embellishments.
02/25/2012
This was pretty good but I agree with other reviewers that it needs seasoning. I served it over brown rice, but I think it would be better with mashed potatoes.
05/04/2005
I had never thought of just using meat, mushrooms and gravy to stuff a pepper before. It's a tasty result!! I made some variations to the original recipe. NOTE: I changed the recipe to 1 serving (1/2 pepper per person). First, I doubled the beef in the recipe. I then cooked in (I'm estimating the measurements) 1/8 Cup Worstirshire Sauce, couple splashes of Balsamic Vinegar, 1 tsp. each of oregano, basil, cilantro, and parsley to the browned beef. Then I added the gravy. I stuffed the peppers and put them in the oven. Then I used the extra beef with another jar of sauce to make a side dish with white rice. Such a yummy meal! It's a must try. My husband and I couldn't get enough.
01/08/2009
Agreeing with other comments--it is bland on its own but with spicy peppers etc, it was pretty good. We enjoyed this recipe after some seasoning.
08/28/2008
This is THE best low-carb alternative to Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches. Who needs the bun when you can have all this flavor!
04/19/2006
Hey Bob, I'm so happy that I wasn't the only person in the world who considered making stuffed peppers using a brown gravy instead of the same ol' tomato sauce. O.K., so I didn't use beef, however, the thought entered my mind as I was trying to figure out a way of utilizing my leftover lamb from Easter. I specifically sought out this type of recipe and was thrilled to actually find one! YIPPEE, family loved the change! Thanks!
09/20/2005
I had so many peppers from my garden this year, I didnt know what to do with them all. I found this recipe and made it for a BBQ my family and I were going to. EVERYONE there flipped out over these pepper. Thank you so much for sharing. My friends and I will be making these again and again. Oh, just one more thing. I added some crushed garlic and toppped it off with some garlic and pepper cheese. Yummy.
01/16/2004
Absolutely wonderful! My friends gobbled them up. I used a mix of red yellow and green peppers to stuff and it turned out super!
09/19/2009
This was perfect! I added exta gravy to put on mashed potatoes.
01/30/2009
Found this rather bland. Only put half the meat and doubled the mushrooms. Added fresh parsley, oregano and garlic. And still found it too meaty. Could imagine this being great with some chopped tomato , less gravy and diced aubergine.
08/18/2006
This recipe was easy to make and is a good starter recipe. I added alot of spices and garlic but it still was bland. Will probably make again.
12/16/2001
Nice, simple variation of the standard stuffed bells. My husband liked them. My kids, however, went hungry. I expected that with this recipe, though, because if anyone finds a way to get a bell pepper past a kid, then they are a culinary genious! Thanks!
02/19/2004
Great recipe! My husband wrinkled his nose when I said "stuffed peppers", but ended up cleaning his plate and said "that's a keeper"! My 10yr.old who hates mushrooms,onions & peppers, forsake her mac n' cheese and ate my pepper! This recipe I will make again...thanks Bob!
05/06/2012
Beefy and Yummy! Served over mashed potatoes!
03/22/2013
This was delicious. I modified this recipe slightly by using Johnsonville sausage instead of beef and red peppers. It was delicious!
09/13/2006
Very good but I took other people's advice and used more spices...cayenne, paprika and garlic all added to the meat at the beginning rather than at the end. I will probably make this again
03/10/2008
The filling was delicious, great recipe for pepper-lovers-- Unfortunately I'm not one of them!
07/17/2003
This dish was a hit. It's definitely preferable to the standard stuffed peppers with tomato and rice.
08/18/2004
This was okay. I would probably make it again for an easy dinner.
07/23/2020
This is an awesome recipe! I am not a fan of tomatoes so this was a nice alternative recipe. At the suggestion of other reviews, I seasoned the beef, mushroom, onion combo a lot more. added smoked paprika, garlic and cayenne. I followed the recipe other than adding seasonings, and it is a KEEPER in this house!!
10/15/2012
Really good. Used mozzarella cheese and added garlic and adobo to the meat mixture...yum!
11/21/2006
Loved this recipe!!
06/05/2019
I had leftover spicy sausage and 1/3 pound leftover hamburger meat. It turned out delicious!
08/04/2013
I added a few extra seasonings but it was delicious! Meets phase one of the south beach diet. Thanks for sharing.
06/06/2013
Good. I switched ground beef out and used spicy ground sausage. It was fantastic!
01/03/2003
My family was not thrilled when I said I was making stuffed peppers for dinner until they tasted this recipe. There wasn't a bit of food leftover. I made mashed potatoes as a side dish which complimented the gravy. Thanks Bob, this is a keeper!
10/10/2018
I changed the gravy for diced tomatoes. Love stuffed peppers. Thank you.
01/28/2003
We all enjoyed this very much and it's a nice change of pace from traditional stuffed peppers. I didn't add any extra salt because I used bottled gravy which has more than enough salt. I served this with mashed potatoes and will definitely make again.
01/05/2018
This recipe is perfect for us. Tomato sauce recipes cause heartburn. This is a perfect substitute.
02/04/2005
WOW was this good. Great low carb recipe and everyone in the family loved it!! Thank you Bob! I definately will make this again!
05/26/2018
Add more gravy.
09/22/2015
I added some rice to fill it out and absorb liquid. I also added celery, 4 cloves of garlic, used a red onion and seasoned with Cajun. I also took the advice of a commentor and didn't cook the peppers beforehand, adding 1/2 inch of water to the pan so the peppers were al dente. Good recipe, will probably make again, with a few more variations
03/04/2014
Changed the recipe by replacing the gravy with 3 tbs tomato paste and 1/2 cup water. Added cilantro as garnish
04/13/2020
very good basic recipe to start with and modify to your liking
08/09/2002
This dish was excellent. The only change I made was I used bbq sauce instead of brown gravy, and it tasted great!
08/13/2015
These turned out fantastic and I will definitely be making them again. Thanks for a great recipe!
03/17/2005
I'll make it again but, it isn't "out of this world" or anything. It was good though.
02/13/2005
I made these the other day and they did happen to turn out very well -- definitly something different for dinner. I just need to find some way to spice it up a little better something to knock you in the face when you eat it . Overall, a wonderful starter recipe and especially easy to make if you are not the Ultimate Chef.
11/25/2003
Delishous, quick, easy, and a lower carb alternative. I used ground venison instead of beef and it turned out fabulous. I added cheese into my mixture and stuffed some graded cheese into each bell pepper. Good recipe!
05/16/2013
This was the best stuffed pepper recipe that I have ever tried! Everyone in my family liked it! Definitely putting this into the rotation!
11/05/2012
One of our family's favorite meals. I do make it with red peppers and substitute pork sausage for the beef. YUMMMY!
01/11/2006
I thought they were fine, but nothing special. I would make them again, but I would use more spices then the recipe calls for. I ended up having to put hot sauce on them just to make it more flavorful!! Granted I didn't use extra gravy, I didn't add any after it had been in the oven. But that shouldn't have made much difference.
02/15/2008
Excellent I used ribeye,rice,and mushrooms.I also sprinkled a beef rub and a few dashes of soy sauce over meat and vegetables while cooking.
03/15/2006
Great family fare! Thanks for the tasty recipe!
02/25/2002
absolutely fabulous.
08/12/2013
I was looking for a simple recipe for stuffed bell peppers, and this is it. I didn't have beef gravy or mushrooms available, but I did have a very chunky organic condensed cream of portabella mushroom soup and some really tasty low-sodium beef bouillon cubes. So, I dissolved 2 bouillon cubes in 16 oz of the condensed mushroom soup (without thinning it) and used that in place of gravy and mushrooms in the recipe. I added some crushed garlic, too. Otherwise I followed the recipe as written. I served it with garlic-&-herb mashed potatoes & a side salad. Short-cuts for this recipe: Use diced frozen onions. Monthly brown 4 pounds of lean ground beef, put 1/4 of the browned, drained meat into each of 4 quart-size ziploc bags, & freeze until needed. In this case, you'd just grab a bag of the precooked browned beef, throw it in the skillet long enough to sautée the onions & mushrooms, then just add gravy since it's already drained. Gluten-free alternative: use GF gravy or use my modification with Pacific Natural Foods Cream of Mushroom condensed soup & GF bouillon cubes. Lower the fat content by rinsing the drained ground beef with hot water, and using vegetarian ground beef replacement for 1/2 of the ground beef, and using low-fat cheese. (Using rice or bread as extenders will add starchy carbs.)
