These babies are packed with juicy Italian sausage, flavorful rice, and a medley of spices that will make your taste buds do the happy dance. And the best part? They’re ridiculously easy to make!
First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While that’s heating up, let’s get started on the filling. In a large skillet, cook the Italian sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, until it’s no longer pink.
Once the sausage is cooked, add in the cooked rice, diced tomatoes, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning. Stir everything together until it’s well combined, then set it aside to cool slightly.
While the filling is cooling, let’s prep the peppers. Cut off the tops of four large bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place them in a baking dish and set them aside.
Now it’s time to fill those peppers! Stuff each pepper with the sausage and rice mixture, filling them as full as you can. Top each pepper with a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
Place the peppers in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the peppers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
These Italian sausage stuffed peppers are the perfect comfort food for a chilly evening. They’re easy to make, packed with flavor, and sure to become a family favorite!
