Sfuffed Bell Peppers
Why I Love This Recipe
Compliments of my sister.
Ingredients You'll Need
4-6 large green bell peppers
1 yellow sweet onion
4 garlic cloves (fresh or pre-minced)
2 Roma tomatoes
Italian seasoning grinder
olive oil
1/4 lb ground beef
1/4 lb ground Italian sausage
1 8oz package of sharp cheddar cheese, 1 8oz package of mozzarella cheese
Directions
Preheat oven to 375.
Wash bell peppers thoroughly; cut top off peppers (don't cut straight across, cut in a circle to remove core).
Wash the seeds out of the pepper.
Mix 1/4 cup of olive oil with Italian seasoning in a small bowl.
Place peppers upside down on wire rack inside a roaster pan; poke multiple holes in the bottom of each pepper (this will allow water from the pepper to drain later).
Paint the peppers with olive oil mixture and put in oven on 375 degrees
