Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup water
  • 4 bell peppers color of choice
  • 1 pound ground sausage
  • 1/2 onion yellow or white chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • Italian seasoning
  • 2 cups cauliflower rice
  • 2 cups tomato sauce jarred sauce
  • salt/pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 3500 F (1 760C).Add the water to the bottom of a baking dish.
  • Cut off the tops of the peppers and discard the seeds and ribs.
  • Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add the sausage to the pan, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Once it is cooked through and no longer pink, about 8 minutes, drain any excess drippings from the pan.
  • Add the onion, garlic, Italian seasoning and salt to the pan with the sausage. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until the onions have softened. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cauliflower rice and tomato sauce until well combined.
  • Stuff the peppers with the sausage and cauliflower rice filling. Place the peppers so that they are standing up right in the prepared baking dish. Cover with foil or a lid and bake for 45 to 50minutes or until the peppers are tender.
  • Divide between plates and enjoy!

Notes

If you want to make the peppers look like Halloween pumpkins you can score out the eyes and nose using a paring knife. Use orange bell peppers. Save the tops and place on top once the peppers are cooked and out of the oven.  You will have jack o lantern peppers!
