Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Cut the top 1/4 off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes, place bell peppers in a large baking dish and set aside. Dice and reserve the extra flesh from the tops, discarding the stem.
- Heat a large saute pan over medium high heat. Brown the sausage, then remove sausage from pan.
- Add the onions, the diced parts of the bell peppers, and mushrooms, season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 10-15 minutes, until they have released their water and water has evaporated from pan.
- Once water has evaporated and pan is starting to get dry, add the tomato paste and garlic, stir together until mixed and becoming fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
- Add the meat back to the pan, stir in oregano and parmesan cheese. Stir until fully mixed.
- Fill bell peppers with sausage mixture and bake for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, remove from oven and top peppers with mozzarella cheese, return to the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until peppers are cooked and cheese is browning and bubbly.
