Recipe: Stuffed Peppers
Here it is …another good fall recipe to try, and may I add, one of my favorites! It is easy to make and is delicious.
Stuffed Peppers
4-6 large green, or other variety (color peppers)
12 oz. pork sausage (Jimmy Dean works well)
2/3 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup thinly sliced celery, if desired
2 tsp. vegetable oil
1 can Rotel diced tomatoes & chili’s
1 small can sliced olives
1 cup cooked rice
1 egg beaten
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 package grated cheddar cheese, or favorite variety
Cut tops off peppers and scrape out seeds. Boil some water in a large pot, (enough to cover peppers,) and add the peppers for approximately 4 minutes, to cook slightly. Remove from heat, rinse and drain to cool.
Cook the pork sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently to break up the meat. Add the onion, celery, olives, garlic salt, and pepper, stirring occasionally until the sausage is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Transfer the sausage mixture into a large mixing bowl and allow it to cool slightly. Add the can of Rotel diced tomatoes and chilis. Add the rice, to the cooled sausage mixture. Scoop it into the peppers. Sprinkle with grated cheese over the top. Bake until the peppers are tender and crisp in a 350 degree oven for approximately 30 minutes.
Enjoy!
