  • Author: Clara Walker
  • Total Time: 59 minute

Ingredients

– 4 large bell peppers (any color)
– 1 cup wild rice
– ½ pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy, according to preference)
– 1 cup diced onions
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Olive oil for sautéing
– Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Wild Rice & Italian Sausage Stuffed Peppers can be effortless if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.
2. Cook Wild Rice: In a medium saucepan, cook wild rice according to package instructions. Set aside once done.
3. Prepare Bell Peppers: Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove seeds. Lightly brush the edges with olive oil and place them in a baking dish.
4. Brown Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the Italian sausage until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula.
5. Sauté Onions and Garlic: Add the diced onions and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
6. Combine Filling Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the cooked wild rice, browned sausage, sautéed onion and garlic, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
7. Stuff Peppers: Generously fill each bell pepper with the rice and sausage mixture, pressing it down gently to pack it in.
8. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of each stuffed pepper.
9. Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
10. Cool and Garnish: Let cool for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

These steps will guide you in preparing this incredible dish effortlessly.
