Italian Stuffed Peppers Granny Would Have loved! These Italian style stuffed peppers are full of Italian sausage, spinach, cheese, rice and lots of flavor! Excellent as a make ahead meal or make a double batch and have a pan of these stuffed peppers waiting in the freezer!
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Halve 6 peppers and scoop out the seeds and membrane. Blanch the peppers in the boiling water for 3-5 minutes. Remove to a baking dish. Set aside.
Finely chop the remaining pepper. Then, heat the oil in a large skillet and brown the sausage, remaining bell pepper, onion and garlic. Remove the mixture to a large bowl. Stir together the remaining ingredients, except the pizza sauce. Fill each pepper half with the filling mixture. If you have leftover filling, place it in between the peppers in a glorified pile on the pan. Cover each pepper with a spoonful of pizza sauce and a sprinkle of cheese.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until mixture is hot all the way through.
