Very tasty!
The ingredients as listed will stuff 4 or even 5 large peppers.
Excellent idea; needs tuning. Stuffing a little mushy, so cut pepper in half lengthwise to increase ratio of crunchy topping to stuffing. For 2 peppers (4 halves), used: 1 T 1t olive oil, 1c drained beans, 1/2 yellow onion, 4 garlic cloves, 4oz mushrooms, 1/4c basil, s&p, 1.5 tsp hot sauce, 1/4c broth, 1/4c panko, 1oz cheese. If make again, will double amt of mushrooms to improve stuffing texture add flavor. As made 206cal per half; each of us were full after eating 1.5 halves.
Nice change from ground meat versions. Had leftover roast beef so replaced 1 can of beans with chunks of roast beef. As suggested in another review, cut the peppers lengthwise to allow more area for topping. Cooked them for 20 minutes at 350 before stuffing. Used 2-3x more mushrooms, 2-3x the garlic, and more basil. Added a 6 ounce bag of spinach and generous squirt of sriracha with the broth. Added a squeeze of lemon juice just before stuffing the peppers.
