Sausage-Stuffed Green Peppers
from Campbell's Kitchen

Prep Time: 20 min.
Bake Time: 40 min.

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound sweet Italian pork sausage, casing removed
1 medium onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves, crushed
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (about 4 ounces)
4 medium green peppers, seeded and cut in half lengthwise
2 cups Prego® Traditional Italian Sauce * or* Tomato, Basil & Garlic
Italian Sauce

1. Heat the oven to 400°F. Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over
medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook until it's well browned,
stirring often to break up the meat. Add the onion and oregano and cook
until the onion is tender. Pour off any fat. Stir in the cheese.

2. Arrange the peppers in a 3-quart shallow baking dish. Spoon the
sausage mixture into the peppers. Pour the sauce over the filled
peppers. Cover the baking dish.

3. Bake for 40 minutes or until the peppers are tender.

*Serving Suggestion:* Serve with garlic and cheese toast. For dessert
serve tiramisu.

Makes: 8 servings (1 pepper half each).

Kitchen Clip This is a great dish to make ahead. Prepare the

with foil and refrigerate. They're ready to bake and serve whenever you are!
