What is posted is the original recipe. I have changed the rice to brown rice for health reasons. Have used other color of peppers for a little different taste. Also add a pinch of grated cheese (your choice) inside the peppers for alternative layers of cheese and sauce mixture. A little hot sauce is also good.
