I am a very, very amateur house cook, and this may have been my most adventurous meal to date. It was not hard, by any means, but I have trouble coordinating when each item should be complete in order to move on to the next step.  Example:  prep time 10 minutes?  No fucking way.  It took me 10 minutes just to organize how any measuring cups I needed.  Like I said though, I am a beginning.
Despite doubling the prep time, and not having any clue how to cook rice (thanks google!), my stuffed peppers turned out fan-freaking-tastic and I will definitely be making these again.
My only tips would be a) make sure you know how to cook rice, b) eat at least 3.
We ate left overs the next night, and they were fine.  Makes 8 pepper halves.
