Cheesy Sausage-Stuffed Mini Peppers

Recipe by JimmyDean from allrecipes.com

Dinner 40 Mins.

Ingredients

2

2 servings

  • 2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil, divided
  • 1/4 (1-pound) package Jimmy Dean Premium Pork Sausage
  • ¼ cup diced mushrooms
  • 1 cup pre-cooked white rice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 pound mini bell peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • In a small frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat for about 30 seconds. Add Jimmy Dean sausage and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until browned, stirring frequently to break up the sausage into small pieces, then drain. Remove the sausage and set aside.
  • To the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and reduce heat to medium. Add diced mushrooms and saute for about 5 minutes, until mushrooms are softened and brown.
  • In a bowl, mix the sausage and mushrooms with the rice and parsley, and 1/2 cup of the mozzarella. Season to taste, and fill each bell pepper halfway with the mixture.
  • Top each pepper with additional cheese, and bake for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the peppers from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
