Sausage Stuffed Peppers Recipe

ingredients

1/2 pound ground sausage
1 cup onions
1/2 cup green bell peppers
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 1/2 cup cooked rice
1/4 cup chopped scallions (green parts only)
4 medium red or yellow bell peppers
4 tablespoons dried fine bread crumbs
4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper, to taste
parsley, to taste

directions

Slice peppers in half and remove seeds.

In a large skillet, over medium heat, brown the sausage, about 3 minutes. Add the onions, peppers and celery. Season with salt and pepper. Saute for 4 to 5 minutes, until the vegetables are soft. Add the rice and mix well. Cook for about 3 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in the green onions and a sprinkling of parsley. Season the bell peppers with salt and pepper. Spoon the mixture into the bell peppers.

In a mixing bowl, combine the bread crumbs and cheese. Season with salt and pepper (to taste) and mix well. Sprinkle the crust over each pepper. Place the peppers in a shallow pan and add just enough water to cover the bottom.

Bake in a 400 degrees F oven for 30 minutes, or until tops are crusty and brown. Serve hot.
