Additional Time 40 minutes mins
Total Time 1 hour hr
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 3 Cloves Garlic minced (optional)
- 1 Small Onion minced (optional)
- 1 lb Ground Pork or Sausage
- 14 oz Canned Tomatoes juice included
- 2 Tablespoons Tomato Paste
- 1 Zucchini diced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
- 4 cups rice prepared
- 6 Sweet Bell Peppers
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Preheat oven to 400F.
Place the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once hot, add the onion, garlic and ground sausage. Cook until the sausage is well-browned, about 8-10 minutes.
Add the canned tomatoes, tomato paste, diced zucchini and seasoning. Stir until well-combined.
Stir in the rice and cook until tomato juice is mostly absorbed.
Cut the tops off of the sweet bell peppers and remove the insides.
Scoop the sausage & rice mixture into the peppers.
Wrap the skillet in foil and place in the hot coals of the fire to bake for 30 minutes or place bell peppers in a small casserole dish, cover and bake for 30 minutes in the oven at 400 degrees F.
Remove the tinfoil and then sprinkle cheese over peppers. Continue baking for 10-15 minutes, until cheese is completely melted.
