Ingredients
1 Pack of Lee’s Gourmet Italian Sausage, casing removed
2 Peppers, halved and seeds removed
2 Cups Mushrooms, chopped
1/2 Red Onion, chopped
1 Cup Tomatoes, chopped
1-2 Cups of Rice, cooked
1 Cup Pasta Sauce of choice
2-3 Tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
1/2 Cup Mozza Cheese, shredded
Directions
Pre-heat oven to 375F. Take the beef Italian sausage and remove the casing the crumble and cook in a hot skillet.
Remove the meat, add the chopped veggies to the pan with some oil and sautéed up with our Italian Seasoning as well as some good ol S&P! Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, approx 1 minute.
While the veggies are cooking, place the halved peppers cut side down on a baking sheet and drizzle with some oil. Bake approx. 15-20 minutes or until softening. Remove from oven and set side.
Add the sausage back in then add in some cooked rice and the pasta sauce.
Scoop that mixture into halves of peppers very generously, top with a couple pinches of cheese, bake until fully melted and then broil to brown the cheese!
