For those of you commenting to ask if the ground beef is cooked first, you can see if you scroll to the bottom of the comments that it is not supposed to be cooked before putting it in the recipe. Makes this recipe even easier in my opinion
I'm thinking I'll take a commenter's suggestion and add salsa instead of walnuts to this recipe to spice it up. I'll be back after making. I'm going to do 5 hours on high instead of 8 on low - maybe that'll avoid the mush some mentioned?

Do you cook the meat before combining ingredients and stuffing the pepper? Or do you keep it raw?

This recipe is better if you use beef stock instead of chicken stock. It keep the same theme of beef throughout the recipe.

Do you cook the ground beef first, or do you stuff the peppers with the mixture using raw ground beef? Thanks.

I'm getting ready to make these but I want to know if I'm suppose to cook the ground beef first or keep it raw?

Absolutely awesome!! I added a few more spices & used brown rice & a mexican blend grated cheese. I stuffed 6 large green peppers & 3 Anahiem peppers. I had some "stuffing" left so I spread it on top of the peppers. <3

I'm not a fan of green bell peppers but have used green peppers for this recipe. Do you think the red or orange or yellow would work ??? Thanks
By Susie Swafford on September 02, 2012
I followed the directions, but they still came out bland and the filling was quite mushy. Not sure what I may have done wrong.
