Ingredients

• 1 pound Edwards Family Farms ground sausage
• 4 bell peppers (any color you like)
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup cooked rice (brown rice or quinoa for added healthiness)
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella work great)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: chopped herbs like parsley or basil for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes from inside.
3. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks.
4. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the sausage and cook until the onion is soft and translucent.
5. Stir in the cooked rice and diced tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let it cook for a few more minutes until everything is heated through.
6. Stuff each bell pepper with the sausage and rice mixture, packing it in tightly.
7. Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish, and if you have any leftover filling, you can sprinkle it around the peppers in the dish.
8. Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
9. Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the tops of the peppers, and return them to the oven uncovered for another 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Garnish with chopped herbs if desired, then serve and enjoy your delicious and somewhat healthy sausage and veggie stuffed bell peppers!
