CHEESY ITALIAN STUFFED PEPPERS

INGREDIENTS

  • 16 ounces bulk hot Italian sausage
  • 1 (14.5-oz) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes with garlic
  • 2 ounces shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 8 ounces dried orzo pasta
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 2 cups reduced-sodium chicken stock
  • 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 8 bell peppers (whichever color you prefer)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 8 basil leaves, chopped (optional garnish)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
  2. Warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium (10-inch) skillet over medium heat, approximately 2 minutes. Add orzo, stir to coat. Cook until orzo is golden brown, stirring occasionally. Add chicken stock and bring to a boil, cook for 7-10 minutes until liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally.
  3. Meanwhile, wash peppers. Cut the tops off and remove seeds and veins. Pat peppers dry with a paper towel. Place peppers (lids and bottoms) in a microwave-safe bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon oil and kosher salt. Cover bowl with plastic wrap or microwave-safe lid. Microwave until peppers are soft (about 10 minutes). Remove peppers from bowl and stand up (cut side up) in a 9”x9” baking dish.
  4. In the meantime, heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage to skillet and cook until browned.
  5. In the orzo pan; combine sausage, tomatoes, mozzarella, and cheeses. Stir to combine. Stuff mixture into peppers, using a spoon. Set tops aside.
  6. Bake for 7-10 minutes, until the top is lightly browned. Place tops on peppers and serve.
  7. Enjoy!
