We Love Sausage!!

This recipe is my go to recipe for Stuffed Peppers!  I always have a couple of stuffed peppers in the freezer.

What a better way to get a taste of Summer but in Stuffed Peppers with Sweet Italian Sausage!! I don't know about you but I am getting the itch for longer and warmer days.

Italian Pork Sausage is a very versatile product. Who doesn't like a really tasty stuffed pepper? I do, but I have tried so many recipes, but none have really compared to the one that Linda Hanks has on her blog Linda's Italian Kitchen.

The stuffed peppers are easy, and what a better way to use red and yellow peppers. Red and Yellow peppers so flavorful, and look so beautiful in the pot as they cook.

Ingredients

  • 2- Red Peppers and 2-Yellow Peppers
  • 1-Onion
  • 2-Garlic cloves
  • 2 tbls of Olive Oil
  • 1 lb. Sweet Italian Sausage
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice
  • 1/2 cup of unflavored breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • Few tbls of Romano Cheese
  • Few Tbls of Parsley

Directions

  1. Cut the tops off the peppers and dice up the pepper tops. Dice up one onion and two cloves of garlic.

  2. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a sauté pan and add garlic, onion and peppers. Sauté until the onions are translucent. Into the mixture add the meat from the sausage.

  3. Take the Circle B Ranch sausage out of its casing and cook the sausage with the vegetables until the pork sausage has browned.

  4. In a bowl add one cup of brown rice, 1/2 cup of unflavored bread crumbs, and the browned sausage, peppers, onion and garlic. And add one egg, a few tablespoons of Romano Cheese. Add chopped parsley, salt and pepper to taste.

  5. Now don't eat all of the filling yourself. I made the mistake of taking a small bowl and eating it all!

  6. Stuff the peppers with the filling, and place in a deep baking dish. It they don't stand up on their own you can trim off a small part in the bottom. Pour about 3/4 of a jar of Marina's Italian Tomato Sauce into the bottom of the dish and sprinkle the peppers with some Romano cheese. Put into a 350 degree heated oven for 1 hour or until the peppers are fork tender. Take out of the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve a whole pepper for dinner. These are truly delicious!
