Ingredients
- 3 bell peppers any color
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese
- 2 ounces pepperoni cut into small pieces
- 6 ounces Italian sausage cooked
- ¾ cup pasta sauce we use Rao’s Sensitive Marinara Sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Cut each pepper in half and remove the seeds and the ribs (the white ridges inside the pepper). Place cut peppers in a baking dish.
- Place one tablespoon of sauce in the bottom of each pepper.
- Top with 1 ounce of Italian sausage, and pepperoni pieces.
- Add a small amount of mozzarella cheese, packing it into the pepper so it fills up the space.
- Place a second tablespoon of sauce on top of the mozarella, followed by a little more pepperoni, and enough mozzarella to finish filling the pepper.
- Place the baking dish in the oven and bake the peppers for 40 minutes. You will know they are done when the pepper begins to wrinkle around the edges and the cheese is fully melted.
- Enjoy!
