Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
  • 1/2 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 lb Italian sausage
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bell peppers: Slice the tops off the bell peppers and carefully remove all seeds and membranes. Set them aside to ensure they’re ready to be stuffed with the delicious filling.
  2. Cook the meat and vegetables: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and sausage, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once browned, add diced onions, mushrooms, black olives, green bell pepper pieces, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables soften and all flavors meld.
  3. Add the sauce and seasoning: Pour in the pizza sauce and sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for a few minutes so all the flavors develop together perfectly.
  4. Mix in the cheese: Remove the skillet from heat, then fold in half of the mozzarella and cheddar cheese, allowing the residual heat to melt it slightly and create a cheesy, cohesive filling.
  5. Stuff the peppers and bake: Stuff each bell pepper generously with the savory filling, then top with the remaining cheese. Arrange them upright in a baking dish and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 25-30 minutes until the peppers are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.

Notes

  • Pick firm bell peppers that stand upright and feel heavy to the touch to prevent tipping during baking.
  • Do not overcook the filling so flavors stay fresh and peppers don’t become mushy after baking.
  • Drain excess fat after browning meat to avoid a soggy filling.
  • Use a baking dish with sides to catch any bubbling sauce and keep your oven clean.
  • Let the peppers rest for 5 minutes after baking for easier handling and more blended flavors.
