Sounds good! I love stuffed peppers because it's at once a sophisticated dish, but still down home enough to enjoy with family. There are already so many variations of what you can put in the pepper as well. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Cool recipe. I love stuffed peppers, I usually stuff the peppers with a meat ragu, but a spicy bean stuffing sounds very appealing. I watched a Moroccan cooking show last night - she stuffed peppers with dried fruit, roasted lamb, spices and rice, it looked very tasty.

I like stuffed peppers. My sister-in-law is the one who usually makes them. She stuffs the peppers with ground beef, long grain rice, tomato sauce, garlic powder, salt and pepper. She tops the whole thing with grated mozzarella cheese.

Well, I have never grilled olives. Do not care for them, so they are out. But experimenting is fun.

Has anyone tried cheddar cheese instead of the other kinds of cheese? Cheddar is always may favorite and it seems like a really filling topping. What do you think?

Haha! I can't stand olives either so I really won't be disappointed by never seeing you post olives on the grill.

I have tried a variety of cheeses in my peppers. I make them with beef, pork, ground turkey or venison also. Yes Cheddar is great in stuffed peppers, I like pepper jack but my kids don't.
