Baked Sausage Stuffed Peppers

Baked Sausage Stuffed Peppers from A Pinch of Joy

Baked Sausage Stuffed Peppers are a favorite because the recipe does not have tomato sauce – just the flavors of meat, vegetables and cheese.   This recipe is also versatile.  It was 11 degrees out the day I made this.  No way was I setting myself in that cold car so I used what I had on hand –  sausage, Birds Eye Wild Rice (microwave in the bag mix with broccoli and carrots) and Colby Jack cheese. Using sausage eliminates the need for other seasoning, but you can also add your own seasonings to ground beef.  For us that would be salt and pepper , maybe a bit of minced garlic.  You can see that sausage is a flavor boost for our household!   (Sad isn’t it?? I’m working on it!)  I’ve not used the wild rice mixture before but the mixture did just fine and we had the benefit of the bits of vegetables it contains.  The mozzarella cheese is the meltiest, the parmesan most flavorful, but Colby Jack pulled its own flavor weight too!   I also usually eat a couple of the pepper  caps while I’m cooking because I love fresh crisp pepper.  They don’t get diced and added to the mix and that doesn’t seem to throw the recipe off.  But then again, I’ve never made it with all four caps so how would I know?  Red and yellow bell peppers have a very different flavor than green bell peppers. The red ones especially are much sweeter. Any bell pepper can be used for this recipe; use the type you like the best.

A nice warm comfort dish – even if it is not snowy and cold.   Add a salad, maybe a hard roll with butter, and enjoy
