tender. Stir in the cheese.

dish. Spoon the sausage mixture into the pepper halves. Pour the
sauce over the filled pepper halves. Cover the baking dish.

Try using fresh mozzarella in the peppers. Dice the cheese into small
cubes and stir it into the sausage mixture. Stuff the peppers and bake
as directed.
