This super-quick and delicious recipe is simple to assemble and can be made in the oven or the slow cooker.
Ingredients
- (1 lb) Italian Sausage
- (1-1/2 lb) mini sweet peppers
- (24-oz. jar) jar of spaghetti sauce
- (8 oz.) shredded mozzarella cheese
- (optional for serving) noodles
Directions
- Cut the tops off of the peppers and remove any large ribs that would prevent stuffing.
- Stuff each pepper with sausage (it's okay if the sausage sticks out a bit).
- Place stuffed peppers in a slow cooker or 9x13 casserole dish.
- Cover stuffed peppers with spaghetti sauce.
- OVEN: Top with mozzarella cheese. Bake for 40 minutes at 350°F or until cheese is brown and sausage is cooked through.
- SLOW COOKER: Cook peppers in spaghetti sauce for 6-8 hours on Low. Top with mozzarella cheese for the last half hour.
- Serve over noodles, like spaghetti noodles or zoodles!
Steph's Secret: Stuffed peppers and spaghetti sauce can be frozen in a gallon Ziploc bag for a future meal so it would be wise to make one for now and one for later!
There you have it! Not one but TWO meals done in under an hour. Because, as I like to say, “cook once, eat twice.”
