Great way to get those extra veggies in a meal!. My husband does not like green peppers, but he will tolerate red, orange and yellow peppers which I already had on hand. I had some extra marinara sauce on hand and used half marinara, half salsa in the recipe. Used my own mashed potatoes that I thawed from the freezer. Topped it with shredded cheddar cheese. Served with fruit salad and a couple of slices of garlic bread. My husband told me multiple times that the meal was really good and he had seconds. There was enough left over for him to take for lunch. There was a surprising amount of flavor in this recipe considering the number of ingredients and the amount of time it took to prepare. It's nice to experiment with a new recipe and have it turn out so well. I think it would taste very good on diced, roasted potatoes or quinoa as well. Thanks for the new recipe that we can add to our family favorites. — Sandy Scherzinger
