    • 8 Cubanelle peppers, stemmed and seeded

  • Grains and Breads

    • 1 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs

STEPS

1

Cook and stir sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until crumbly and lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain excess grease and transfer sausage to a medium bowl.

2

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

3

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in sausage, bread crumbs, Monterey Jack cheese, mozzarella cheese, beaten egg, cooked rice, Romano cheese, and parsley until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper. Transfer to a large bowl.

4

Wipe out the skillet and heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Cook and stir Cubanelle peppers in hot oil until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove to a plate to cool slightly.

5

Stuff Cubanelle peppers with rice mixture, using a teaspoon to push it into the tip. Arrange stuffed peppers in a 10x13-inch baking dish; cover the dish with aluminum foil.

6

Bake in the preheated oven until peppers are tender, about 45 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for 15 minutes more.
