  • Place your cleaned Bell Peppers in a casserole dish or a steamer dish.  Add a little water - don't cover them, just enough to be able to steam them when you add to microwave.
    Cover your peppers tightly with plastic if you are using a casserole dish; or seal in steamer dish.
    Steam in Microwave for 5 minutes!  Remove when done.
    ***BE CAREFUL WHEN OPENING THE CONTAINER OR REMOVING THE PLASTIC THE STEAM WILL BE HOT!!!**
    Set aside your peppers for stuffing

How to Prepare Your Stuffing

  • Cook your ground sausage and ground beef. Using a spoon break/chop the meat into very fine pieces.
    Cooked Ground Beef and Italian Sausage
  • Add in your finely chopped onions and bell peppers - incorporate well and let simmer
  • Add 1 Can of the lowest carb pasta sauce you can find and afford (we used the Hunts Garlic and Herb)
    Let your meat and ingredients simmer for 5 - 10 minutes *make sure that you have throughly cooked it.

Lets Stuff Our Peppers

  • Optional Step:  We like to set our peppers on a layer of meat at the bottom of the casserole dish - this is totally optional.
  • Begin stuffing each pepper.
    Stand and place each pepper in your casserole dish (the first one will be the toughest to get to stand up)
  • Pre-Heat Over to 375 Degrees
  • Generously cover your peppers with your Italian and Mozzarella cheese
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until done
  • Remove from stove and let cool for 15 - 20 minutes
  • Serve and enjoy!
