It was time.
Rather than make them how she did stuffed with chopped meat, I found a recipe for Stuffed Peppers with Rice and Lentils.
Ingredients:
The stuffing:
Alterations to recipe:1 - I used canned mushrooms instead of fresh.
2 - I used Arborio rice instead of long-grain rice.
3 - I used plain old lentils instead of red lentils.
4 - Always, more garlic than what is listed.
5 - Stuffing tasted a bit bland so I added some Locatelli Romano and a pinch of red pepper flakes - I am Italian after all.
Verdict: Not like mom's. While delicious, it wasn't savory enough for me. Next time, I will make mom's.

These peppers look great. I have never made red stuffed peppers beofre. I am going to make these for a PotLuck dinner. Thanks for sharing.
What a great, healthy idea. The last time I made stuffed peppers they were sort of greasy so I like this vegetarian alternative. Thanks for linking up to Finished for Friday!
Mom's way is always the best :)
This looks good, I try to make at least one vegetarian meal each week, I think my family will enjoy this. Thanks!

What a great alternative to a meat verison!!
Thanks for linking up to Show & Share!!
This does look delicious - but I know *just* what you mean about your mum's tasting better. Even if I follow the exact recipe my mum uses, it doesn't taste the same. Grr!!
Thank you so much for linking up to Modern Country Style's Fall In Love party.

I love stuffed peppers but we usually use ground beef. I'll give this a try. Stopping by from Hopalong Friday bloghop!
