Tasty stuffed Cubanelle peppers with sausage, Italian bread crumbs, rice, and 3 cheeses - a family favorite!
Ingredients:
  • 1 pound bulk Italian turkey sausage
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
  • 0.5 cup Monterey Jack cheese
  • 0.5 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 0.25 cup cooked rice
  • 0.25 cup grated Romano cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, or to taste
  • 8 Cubanelle peppers, stemmed and seeded
Instructions:
  • Sauté the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until crumbly and lightly browned, for about 5 to 8 minutes. Remove excess grease and transfer the sausage to a medium bowl.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In the same skillet over medium heat, sizzle aromatic onion and garlic in 1 tablespoon of olive oil until fragrant, for about 3 to 5 minutes. Combine sausage, bread crumbs, Monterey Jack cheese, mozzarella cheese, beaten egg, cooked rice, Romano cheese, and parsley, and season with salt and black pepper. Transfer the flavorful mixture to a large bowl.
  • In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Sauté Cubanelle peppers until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool slightly.
  • Carefully fill Cubanelle peppers with rice mixture, using a spoon to pack it into the ends. Place filled peppers in a 10x13-inch baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Roast in the oven until the peppers are tender, approximately 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
