I have made this recipe a couple of times. I think it is very good, the second time I added italian seasoning to my taste, omitted the egg (none on-hand), and added 1/2 C more spagetti sauce in my meat mixture. I plan to make this one of my regular recipes, keep the egg out or whites only (cut cholesterol), experiment with more spices, and maybe cutting the amount of bread crumbs. I should also note that I used ground turkey in this recipe. This was easy to make. I usually mix up the full recipe and freeze the remaining meat mixture. That way I cut my leftovers and get to use a fresh peppers everytime. I have been using half the sauce called for beause I usually only use 2-3 whole peppers.
