SAUSAGE-STUFFED GREEN PEPPERS

SAUSAGE-STUFFED GREEN PEPPERS


1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 lb. sweet Italian pork sausage, casing removed
1 medium onion, chopped (about ½ cup)
1 tsp. dried oregano leaves, crushed
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (about 4-oz.)
4 medium green peppers, seeded and cut in half lengthwise
2 cups Prego traditional sauce


Heat the oven to 400^. Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook until it’s well browned, stirring often to separate meat. Add the onion and oregano and cook until the onion is tender. Pour off any fat. Stir in the cheese.

Arrange the peppers in a 3-quart shallow baking dish. Spoon the sausage mixture into the peppers. Pour the sauce over the filled peppers. Cover the baking dish.

Bake for 40 minutes or until peppers are tender.
