ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND RICE STUFFED PEPPERS



Italian Sausage and Rice Stuffed Peppers image

We love Enro's twist on stuffed green peppers. Italian sausage changes the flavor profile. It adds much more savoriness to the dish. Brown rice, rather than white, add fiber to the meal. The tomato sauce and ooey gooey cheese balance this dish perfectly. These are delicious!

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 can(s) tomato sauce, 14 oz. (mine was flavored with the peppers, onions and sausages cooked in it)
1 medium Vidalia onion
2 large green bell peppers
2 tsp olive oil (or oil of choice)
2 tsp butter, unsalted
3 links, Italian sausage (casings removed)
3 c cooked brown rice
1/2 tsp dried oregano
Dash red pepper flakes
salt and pepper, to taste
1 1/2 c sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • 1. Cook the brown rice, if you have not already done so. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • 2. Wash peppers thoroughly and slice off the tops. Clean out the membrane and seeds. Then cut each pepper into two halves.
  • 3. Put the oil and butter in a large skillet to heat. Medium chop the onion and the pepper tops. Add to the hot oil and cook until softened, about five minutes. Remove from the skillet.
  • 4. Add the Italian sausage to the same skillet and cook, while chopping the ground meat, until cooked and no longer pink. Return the cooked vegetables to the skillet. Stir and remove from heat.
  • 5. Put in the cooked rice, oregano, salt and pepper to taste, red pepper flakes, 1 cup of the shredded cheese, and about 1 cup of the tomato sauce; mix to combine.
  • 6. Put the remaining tomato sauce in a square baking dish, large enough to hold the four pepper halves, that has been prepared with cooking spray. Spread to cover the bottom of the pan.
  • 7. Divide the filling between the peppers and place in the baking dish.
  • 8. Cover tightly with foil and cook for about 45 minutes.
  • 9. Remove the foil, distribute the remaining cheese on the peppers, and return to the oven for about 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and starting to brown. Spoon what sauce is left in the baking dish over the peppers as you serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Bell peppers are the most common type of pepper used for stuffing, but you can also use poblano, Anaheim, or jalapeño peppers. Just be sure to choose peppers that are large enough to hold the filling and that have thick walls.
  • Cook the rice ahead of time: This will save you time when you're assembling the stuffed peppers. You can cook the rice in a rice cooker, on the stovetop, or in the microwave.
  • Use a variety of fillings: Sausage and rice is a classic filling for stuffed peppers, but you can also use ground beef, turkey, or chicken. You can also add vegetables, such as onions, celery, and carrots, to the filling.
  • Don't overstuff the peppers: The filling should be packed tightly into the peppers, but not so tightly that the peppers burst. Leave a little bit of room at the top of the peppers for the filling to expand.
  • Bake the stuffed peppers until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the peppers and the type of filling you are using. In general, you should bake the stuffed peppers for 30-45 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is cooked through.

Conclusion:

Sausage and rice stuffed peppers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your stuffed peppers turn out perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful meal, give sausage and rice stuffed peppers a try.
