Calories 538kcal
Ingredients
- 4 large green bell peppers
- ½ pound spicy Italian pork sausage
- ½ pound sweet Italian pork sausage
- 1 large yellow onion diced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 14 ounce can diced tomatoes undrained
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese divided
GARNISH:
- 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh basil
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch x 8-inch pan (or any other 2-quart baking pan) with cooking spray.
- Prepare the peppers; cut in half length-wise, remove the stem, seeds and white membrane. Nestle the peppers into your prepared baking dish; set aside.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the sausage from its casings, and add to your pan. Use the back of a wooden spoon to break the meat apart into chunks and cook, stirring frequently, until browned.
- Place the sausage onto a paper towel-lined plate, and drain off all but 1 teaspoon of the fat. Add the onions and oregano to the pan, and cook until softened and starting to brown, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add the sausage back to the pan along with canned tomatoes, and ½ cup of mozzarella cheese.
- Spoon the mixture into your prepared bell peppers. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil, and top the bell peppers with the remaining ½ cup of mozzarella cheese. Bake for an extra 5 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh chopped basil and serve.
