What is vegeta? Is it some sort of seasoning? Never heard of it before...

I never have either.... BTW, I have added a little whole kernel corn to the mix for stuffing peppers. That went well, plus I have grated cheddar cheese and added that, too. I use catsup rather than tomato paste, plus a little garlic, but no egg or mayonnaise.

Sounds like we're getting jerked around here with this "recipe". Anyone care to try it?

Just saw this product used on food network. Very popular in eastern Europe.
