My favorite thing about stuffed peppers is that you can fix them in ANY way you like, and no matter what you choose, you will end up with a delicious, filling dinner! You can use Sausage, Beef, Bison, or Lamb! We like fixing them in a few ways in our house so that I will share my favorites. 

Ingredients

  • 8 Bell Peppers

  • 1 lb Ground Meat of your choice, I use Pork or Lamb Sausage

  • 1 Sweet Potato, diced and roasted

  • 1 can Diced Tomatoes

  • 1 box of Dirty Rice

  • 1 block Garlic & Herb Boursin Cheese

  • 1 block of Colby Jack Cheese, shredded

Directions

  • Begin by peeling your sweet Potato and cutting it into cubes. 
  • Spread pieces onto baking sheet and roast in the oven at 374-400 degrees until soft and tender, around 20-30 min. Set aside.
  • Prepare your box of rice as suggested on the box and set aside, then brown your meat in a skillet until fully cooked! 
  • Place softened peppers into 9-13 casserole dish. 
  • Combine all your ingredients in a bowl and stuff your peppers! 
  • After each spoonful, mash your mixture down slightly into the pepper. This will ensure that each one is very full and packed with flavor!
  • Top with your shredded Colby Jack cheese and bake in a 350 degree oven until your cheese is melted and slightly bubbling! 

Notes

  • For any way you choose to fix your stuffed peppers, you want to slice the tops off your peppers, remove the seeds from inside and boil the peppers in a large pot for about 5-10 minutes. This will soften them and shorten your overall baking time once they are stuffed!
