Spicy Sausage and Mushroom Stuffed Bell Peppers
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 large bell peppers
- 1 pound spicy sausage
- 8 ounces mushrooms, chopped
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place the peppers in a baking dish and set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook the spicy sausage over medium heat until browned, breaking it up into crumbles. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms, diced onion, and minced garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
- Stir in the cooked rice, browned sausage, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, then remove the skillet from the heat.
- Fill each bell pepper with the sausage and mushroom mixture, pressing down gently to pack the filling. Top each pepper with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to lightly brown the cheese.
- Allow the stuffed bell peppers to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
