Stuffed Peppers Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Bell Peppers

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Lightly brush the outsides with olive oil and set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Filling

   In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent. Add pork sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned. Stir in cream cheese, shredded cheese, and Italian seasoning until melted and well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

3. 3

   Stuff the Peppers

   Fill each prepared bell pepper with the sausage and cheese mixture, packing it down slightly. Place the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish.

4. 4

   Add Tomato Sauce

   Pour tomato sauce evenly over the stuffed peppers.

5. 5

   Bake

   Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is bubbly.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, and serve warm.
