This wasn't bad. I don't know what I was expecting but it just didn't turn out to be quite what I thought. I have been eating it all up though. Added a bit more hot sauce for spice. Pretty much if you remove the cabbage it's exactly what I put in my stuffed peppers.

My husband who was not looking forward to eating this becuase of the cabbage, finished his plate and called it "pretty good". My son and I liked it and even my 1 1/2 year old ate all of hers. So what more can you ask for on a weeknight!

My DH loves this recipe!!! We got it from Taste Of Home Cookbook. We are in the process of moving to our new home and I packed the cookbooks (my DH wanted this dish and I could not remember the directions) just to get ahead for the move.
